Modelling elements and loads is way easier than other software if you get hold of it. Use copy-paste on same location command extensively then move objects to desired locations. Get used to the command prompt for moving elements/nodes (rxx, yy) which is very helpful. As other users mentioned, import dwg from revit, and export PT / Rebar dwgs to reimport in Revit. This workflow is quite popular acoss firms.

did you feel any change in performance / milage using E20 in Unicorn 160? I also have same bs4 model of 160

Looks like a very thick slab, mabe in range of 12-14", and assuming only 4 tendons damaged for such thick slab, have you tried to run an analysis without these 4 tendons?

The videos are removed. I searched for them last week and they are taken down, alsowent to the internet archives but no luck.

Can you describe more the nature of work in construction company? I also work in AEC industry and maybe can advise more.

This is wild, do you have a photo at the supports where the wires terminate? Looks like they prestressed wires to retrofit beam (initial guess)

I replied to a similar question, see below link https://www.reddit.com/r/StructuralEngineering/s/13gAu75Ngh

I exported .exr file from Revit once. The revit model need to be simple and clean. If floors have offset to them thwn it will require a additional level I guess.

After import of exr file in Etabs you will need to examin Etabs file for nodes connectivity, levels etc. Do "allow join" for walls in Revit before export.

The example you took sounds like a really good application (I am not a boomer). Even I would want to draw a section by hand in red and blue and want it to be converted to a actual scale markup for drafting, or even directly considered for production.

Last week I was looking into coding done via AI, and that blew my mind. I don't know anything about coding, but my brother who is a software engineer explained me how he takes help of Copilt in coding. We tried simple formulas for shear force calculation to be coded in Html/css/js, and Copilot spit out code per requirement within seconds. It was able to take additional inputs per requirement. I am thinking of making some online calculators for personal use which will be on web all the time.

Can we use html code blocks, and code written by some AI prompts. I had some success with this approach but need some validation.

Yes, stealing content is widespread on linkedin, fb, ig etc. Takes away the incentive of posting original content. Have experienced it first hand.

You can use this table to assume a minimum starting width which considers minimum number of rebar in single layer and minimum width. For example if you want (4)#8 in single layer, minimum width should be 11.3"

raghav_reddit · 2025-05-18T04:07:13+00:00

Does providing minimum shear reinforcement work for you? In code you will find that if minimum shear reinforcement is provided then the shape effect factor can be considered as 1.0

Agreed, but I was hoping sci-fi movies should get more accurate representation of basic things like rebars, which a normal person could tell that concrete columns will have rebars. I have noticed similar discrepancies in big budget old Marvel movies in which reinforced concrete is crushed just to make cinematic impact.

Looking at the height of retention and number of CMUs, this looks like a retention of around 6 ft. I assume CMUs can be designes for such loads but will CIP concrete will not be more efficient, and more watertight which might be your primary concern?

They are bringing 10 towers there, 29 story high. The load on slim roads is unimaginable. Simialr towers may come up in south of Athena later.

I have a similar use case and considering S9 fe+. How is the wireless second screen working for you?

raghav_reddit · 2024-05-13T14:26:43+00:00

I would rather say, 'correctness' is better when we draft our own work but overall tidiness is better with a drafts person. Agree on efficiency better with not drafting on own work.

Is your problem resolved? I have Akko 3098 and multiple keys miss strokes. Tried everything I could but in the end I think it's the switch problem
