Step 1. Define material properties.

1. Properties > Material > Material Properties

7. Click [OK] Button.

Two materials have been

defined for Frame and Wall,
respectively even though they are
the same. Two materials are
required because different time-
dependent material properties will
be assigned to the Frames and the
Walls.

Notational size of Frame elements
4
The section shapes of the beams and columns
are different, so different time-dependent
material properties with different Notational
Sizes should be entered. However, since Gen
5 automatically calculates the Notational Size of
Frame elements, it is not necessary to calculate
each Notational Size manually. A temporary
Notational Size will be entered here, and the
program will calculate the correct sizes later.
Notational size of Wall elements.
Gen does not calculate the Notational Size of
Wall elements automatically. Manually calculate
it as follows, and enter it in the dialog box.
h = 2Ac/u
= 2*200*6000/[2*(200+6000)]=193.5mm

1. Construction stage analysis will be performed up to and including the stage specified as Final Stage.
2. Consider the time dependent effects such as creep, shrinkage, variation of compressive strength, etc.
3. Consider the large displacement analysis along with construction stage analysis. This can be used for construction
stage analysis of a cable structure.
4. For SRC member, check the member forces for the steel member before composite action and for the entire section
after composite action separately.
5. Using this function, Erection Loads can be separated from CS:Dead Load.
