Hello, I started to do static models that I had done with many versions of SAP2000 before with ideCAD 6.5 in my new company. I am currently doing a few projects to learn and get to know the program. I am projecting a 2-storey villa (to be used as a residence) to be built in TRNC. Due to architectural requirements, the dimensions of some beams did not comply with TDY-2007. The program reported this problem when I ran the "Geometry Check". For example, due to the roof, a beam to run between 2 columns had to be 25/110 in size. The program warned that in accordance with TDY-2007, the length of the beam should be at most 3.5 times its width. He also wrote that the length of some curtains in the basement must be at least 7 times the width of the curtains. Due to these problems, the program did not allow analysis either. I was able to get the analysis done when I disabled the "conformity check" option from the analysis settings. But having to cancel the eligibility check option is engineering irritating. I also heard that 2-storey villas do not have to comply with TDY-2007. But I want all the structures I project to be as safe as possible. For these reasons, I am curious about the opinions of ideCAD experts and officials. Best regards. Görkem Demircioğlu Nicosia - TRNC
