Example 1 Standard Design

This consists of a standard articulated masonry veneer house subjected to the following constraints: Design Y values

Y_s = 100mm

Deflection ratio = 1/400 (30mm absolute limit) No tree effects

Refer to copy of program on the next sheets.

This is followed by the printer output. In this case the Display Full Results option was used which will give you the option of FEA Node Data i.e. the bending moments, shears, deflections per centre and edge heaves in each direction – these pages are printed as an example.

It is recommended that a sheet be included to show how the house plan was modeled for analysis purposes. Space is allowed for on printout sheet of the calculations.
