CSI Perform3D 8 – CSI Make special 3D programs with a special focus on earthquake proof design. With this program, complex structures, including structures with shear walls, can be analyzed non-linearly on the basis of various strength and strain limit states.
The geometry of the model can be read from the SAP2000 or ETABS program. Various types of elements can be used in the program, including: beams, struts, wall panels (with an opening), floor slabs, gates and partitions. Nonlinear analyzes can be performed statically or dynamically on a model. Loads can be applied to the structure in different stages. For example, the dynamic load of an earthquake can be applied after a non-linear static load. It has powerful performance-based design features and can calculate the necessary capacity ratios for all components and for limit states. Performance evaluations based on ATC40, FEMA356, and ATC440 are automated.
Perform3D is a structural design software useful for evaluating the performance of structural systems. State-of-the-art constitutive modeling capabilities enable the characterization of material non-linearities, including strength and stiffness degradation during hysteresis at the component level. The analysis functions also extend to geometric non-linearity and the effects related to the behavior of PDelta.
Advanced modeling tools allow sophisticated simulation of structural behavior. Components can be grouped according to type, position, and limit state before evaluation is carried out against the required capacity indicator based on strength or strain. Dynamic visualization of DC usage is available through color-coordinated time course animations.
