Features

     Structural Modeling

          •  Generates a true 3D solid physical model of an entire floor system or complete concrete

              building

                    •  No simplification of geometry or manual creation of analytic model required

                    •  Uses smart components to assemble an entire floor system: slab regions, walls,

                       beams, columns, drop caps, drop panels, rebar, tendons and openings

                    •  Models steps above and below the slab as well as any type of slab depression

          •  Streamline modeling process by importing DWG/DXF files and intelligently converting to

              structural components

          •  One-click switches between single- and multi-level modeling modes

          •  Coordinated multi-level modeling saves time and reduces errors

          •  Ability to copy levels up or down to speed up modeling

          •  Flexible definition of component releases and boundary conditions

          •  Handles complex models withe ease and accuracy

          •  Models can be supported on columns, walls, point supports, line supports, or any

              configuration of springs (point, line or area representing soil)

          •  View and examine 3D rendered solid model to verify the accuracy of the structure's

              representation

     Loads

          •  Apply gravity or lateral loads of any configuration, anywhere on the model

          •  Wind load wizard

                    •  A practical utility that allows users to quickly calculate and apply wind loads to

                       the structure. Uses code specified formulas or user defined wind pressure profile.

                       Wizard automatically calculates structure's exposure surface and applies loads

                       at windward and leeward faces of structure.

                    •  ASCE 7-10

                    •  IS 875 (Part III)

          •  Seismic load wizard is being released December 2012

          •  Building level internal reactions are available for single-level re-analysis

     Post-Tensioning and Prestressing

          •  Uses integrated tendon modeling as opposed to "balanced loading". This overcomes

              many of the approximations and shortcomings inherent in the conventional modeling

              of post-tensioning. Ask ADAPT to email you a technical note on its modeling approach

              [Aalami, Bijan, O "Structural Modeling of Post-Tensioned Members." American

              Society of Civil Engineers, Structural Journal, February 2000, pp. 157-162]

          •  Model bonded or unbonded tendons

          •  Design using effective force or specify stressing ends and friction loss parameters

          •  Calculates prestressing force in members as well as secondary restraining effects

              (hyperstatic moments) due to prestressing

          •  Tendon generation wizards for banded and distributed tendons

          •  Automatically or manually model and dynamically edit tendons in plan or elevation

              view online video ...

          •  Tendon curvature check against a minimum radius of curvature

          •  Automated tendon clash detection

          •  Program calculates and graphically shows force along tendon

     Analysis Capabilities

          •  Industry leading automated 3D finite element meshing algorithm

          •  Option to mesh and analyze complete model or any individual level

          •  Performs a detailed finite element analysis of the entire floor systems and its supporting

              structure using shell and frame elements

          •  Unlike other general analysis programs in the market that analyze all horizontal

              components at the same node level, Edge properly maintains the different offsets of

              steps in slabs and/or beams with respect to the slab they are framed into - this results

              in more realistic analysis and deflection results

          •  Smart components automatically establish required FEM connectivity, eliminating

              need for manual fine-tuning of analysis model

          •  Carries out integrated modal vibration analysis on complete model or any user-defined

              sub-region

     Design and Automatic Code Checks

          •  Member design forces for columns and walls reported graphically and concise

              tabular reports

          •  Automatic drift check

          •  Define arbitrary manual design sections across horizontal components - software

              calculates actions, required rebar and moment capacity

          •  When used with Floor Pro or MAT, automatically combines gravity analysis results

              carried out at slab level with lateral load solution obtained at building level

     Output and Reports

          •  Detailed quantity takeoff report

          •  Generates both professional and ready-to-submit graphical and tabular reports

     Licensing Options

          •  Edge can be used as a stand-alone solution or or together with Floor Pro and MAT

          •  Multi-user network or stand-alone versions

          •  Download with soft license or flexible USB dongle
