SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator minimizes the deviation of the analytical elements from their “optimal” position. The higher the priority, the lower the deviation.
SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator respects the adjustment limits when finding the optimal location for the analytical elements.
The limits are relative to the dimensions of the physical element (unless stated otherwise), measured from the center of the element.
Thus a limit results in the analytical element being placed within the physical element,
while a limit allows it to being placed outside.
Important
Adjustment limits prevail over element priorities.
This feature is only available for 2023-10 and above.
SOFiSTiK Analytical Model Generator respect these global settings according to the configuration file,
unless a local override is specified.
The following settings are available:
-
By default either Top/Center/Bottom of Element are used.
Option 1
The most adjacent level within a specified search tolerance is used.
Note
Only horizontal elements are aligned with adjacent floors.
Sloped beams and floors do not follow this setting, please specify a local override if needed.
Important
Only such levels with Analytical = True are considered during the search. To learn more, see Analytical Levels
Option 2
A connected floor is used.
This applies to analytical members for beams only.
Note
The later options supersede the former ones, e.g., a connected floor is more relevant than an adjacent level.
