Structural Member Analytical Models

An analytical model of a structure is comprised of a set of structural member analytical models including one for each element in the structure. The following structural elements have structural member analytical models: Structural Columns, Structural Framing elements (such as beams and braces), Structural Floors, and Structural Walls.

The analytical model of any one structural element has:

• Instance parameters
• Physical material properties
• Default position relative to the structural member itself
• Location with respect to a projection plane, either as placed or as adjusted
