Frequently asked questions and answers have been given to the forum and our technical service. 1) How can I define the elevator pit on a raft basis? The part where the elevator pit is located on the raft base, a gap is opened by using the floor space command in the raft floor toolbar. After the edges of the opened space are limited with the slab edge command, they are placed in place by giving the basic level to be placed under the elevator. The solution is made by activating the Superstructure interactive solution option in the Analysis Settings/Foundation-Soil tab. 2) How can I create spaces for curtains? To create spaces for curtains, you must first enter the curtains with the Panel command and model them as shells. After defining the curtains in this way, if you are in the pattern plan mode, press Shift+Tab on the keyboard to switch to the architectural plan mode. Activate the door window command. Click the Settings icon in the toolbar. Select any type in the dialog that opens. Adjust the size and elevation settings from the Layout tab and click OK. Place your blank on the curtains you have drawn. 3) How can I define the basement curtains? After creating your floor plan, click the panel command. Click the settings icon in the helpful toolbar that opens. After adjusting the denim settings of your curtain as it should be, place it in place like a panel. If you select the Subbasement/Discontinuous panel option in all floors in the settings of the basement curtains, you will not include these curtains in the alfas calculation. 4) How do I define the intermediate landing beam? Before defining the beam, enter the settings and enter the negative level value in the elevation part, down from the floor ceiling. After clicking all, create the intermediate landing beam, just as the beam enters. 5) How do I define the reverse beam? After entering the positive level for the opposite beam in the beam settings, place your beam. The point you should pay attention to is that you must enter the same amount of upper level value with the beam level in the columns where the beam sits. If these columns continue to the upper floors, you must enter the same amount of elevation value for the same columns on the upper floor in order to ensure continuity. 6) How do I define external load for elements? After selecting the element you want to define external load for in the plan window, press the right mouse button on the element. You can define loads with the desired size and geometry by using the options under the add load heading in the drop-down menu. In order to define vertical and horizontal loads on the curtains, you must enter the curtains with the Panel object and model them as Shell. 7) How can I see the external loads I have defined on the screen? External loads can be examined by selecting the appropriate options under the Loads heading after switching to 3D frame mode in the Perspective window. 8) How can I see the external loads I have defined in the reports? After clicking the Reports/Selective Reports option, you can print your loads in the reports by checking the User-Defined Loads line under the Other option at the bottom of the dialog. 9) There is warning B in my columns. How can I solve it? In order to determine which elements are causing the problem in the column-beam junction, first enter the column-reinforced concrete dialog by clicking on the Column line from the Reinforced Concrete menu. From here, click once on the problematic element with the left mouse button. Click the Join Zone Security line and you can detect the elements in the direction of the problem from the pop-up window. After determining, you can apply the following suggestions in the relevant direction. Formulas: Vmax= x . 2bj . h. fcd x=0.60 for enclosed joins, x=0.45 for uncontained joins. Vmax = Maximum limit value fcd = concrete compressive design strength Bj = Two times the smaller of the distance from the vertical mid axis of the beam stuck in the joint zone to the column edge in the direction of the considered earthquake h = The dimension of the perpendicular edge of the column belonging to the beam marked UNSAFE Beam shear force: Ve= 1.25 . fyk . (As1+As2) - Vkol fyk = reinforcement characteristic yield strength As1 = Total area of tensile reinforcement placed on one side of the column-beam joint to meet the negative moment of the beam As2= Total area of the tensile reinforcement placed at the bottom to meet the positive moment on the other side of the beam with respect to As1 Tensile reinforcement area Vkol= Smaller of column shear forces. If Ve > Vmax in any earthquake direction, there is B in the columns. a- The easiest way is to increase the bj or h value. As can be seen, as the beam slides into the middle of the column or the width of the beam increases, the bj value increases. If the bj value cannot be increased, the h value must be increased. You can make 50/30 instead of 50/25 or reverse the column sizes. b- Making the column a curtain: Curtains do not enter the column-beam cutting safety control. c- Measures should be taken to reduce As1 and As2. More rigid system design, such as ensuring the continuity of the frames. In general, frames in the form of columns-beams-columns, stud beams and columns-beams-columns in overhangs create negativity. d- Enlarge fcd by using higher strength concrete. Some Suggestions: It is difficult to mold, but maybe L, T or cross shaped columns can be made. 10) Double reinforcement on the floor gives a warning. How can I solve it? The most likely reason for the double reinforcement warning in slabs is that the slab boundaries cannot be formed correctly. After you bring your floor to your screen so that you can see it completely in the plan window, press the slab analysis button under the Analysis menu. If the red outer contours of your tiles, which are directly connected to each other at the same level, are not created in one go, if they are created piece by piece, your boundaries are wrong (Picture 1). In this case, you can check your tiles and find the faulty tiles to fix the situation, or you can try to delete them all and put your tiles back in. The contours of your correctly placed tiles should form as shown in Picture 2. Picture 1 Incorrectly formed slab boundaries and finite elements Picture 2 Correctly formed slab boundaries and finite elements 11) Should I solve dilatation structures in a single project or in separate projects?[ /b] You can solve dilatation projects in a single project in the program. During the solution, the program will automatically find dilatations based on the data you have entered and will ask you for your preference about dilation acceptances. To decide this, you need to examine the condition and geometry of your structure. Let's examine possible assumptions about different geometries with examples: - Structures that continue as a single block on the lower floors and as independent towers on the upper floors. In such structures, you do not have the chance to solve it as a different project. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to solve the project according to the assumption of more than one rigid diaphragm on the floors. - Structures with common foundations. You can apply two different solutions on the basis of common structures. First alternative, you can enter the structure as a single project and make a solution. The second alternative is to separate and model the building as multiple projects. After completing the solutions, you can apply these effects on the basis you will define in any of your projects by using the Get Fundamental Effects command under the Project menu. - Structures with dilatation at the foundations. The most appropriate method for the solution of this type of structures is to model the structure as different projects. 12) Can I solve the foundations of different projects together? By using the Get Basic Effects command under the Project menu, the basic effects of the project, which has been solved as a different data file, can be imported into an existing project. For example; After solving your two-block project as separate projects, define your beamless raft foundation under one of them. Then select the other project file using the Get Fundamental Effects command and place it in the appropriate coordinates. When you have an analysis done in this state, you add the main effects that are effective in the other project in the current project. 13) How many upper rigid basement floor number should I enter? Open the Floor General Settings dialog. In this dialog, type the value in the N column of your floor that you think is rigid in the Upper rigid floor number box in the Analysis Settings/TDY Options section. If you do not have any rigid floors, write the lowest number that is not in the floor general settings in this box. If you have more than one rigid floor, it is sufficient to write the value in the N column of the top rigid floor. The program automatically accepts this floor and any floors below it as rigid. 14) I don't want piles on the beams. How can I intervene? In the Beam Settings/Static-Reinforced Concrete tab, you can check the Pillarless Design box to have a pile-free design. 15) More than one rigid diaphragm found in my project. Why? More than one rigid diaphragm warning in your project will occur if there is no data entry problem, if there are slab blocks disconnected from each other on the floors, or if there are slabs at different levels. The project is reviewed and the user decides on the appropriate diaphragm acceptance. 16) Sentinel HASP key not found (H0007) error. How can I solve it? This error indicates that the lock given to you when the program was purchased could not be detected on the computer you are trying to run the program on. In this case, make sure the lock is installed on the computer. Make sure the lock light is on. Test your lock on other ports on the computer to see if the USB port that the lock is plugged into is faulty. If your ports are working and you are still getting the same error, the lock driver is probably disabled. Download and reinstall your lock driver from the download section at the address

This warning is caused by Turkish character problem. You should edit the language and region settings of your computer in Turkish. If this warning appears when your settings are in Turkish, you must first select a different language and country and restart your computer. Then, if you select Turkish and Turkey again and restart, the problem will be fixed. 18) The elements I created on the file I imported from AutoCAD are not displayed in the 3D window. Why? AutoCAD drawings are probably too far from the origin. Select the entire drawing you imported and click the Move command. You can give the lower left corner of the drawing as the base point. Then move your drawing to (0;0) using the coordinate box. You can also see your data in the perspective window when you create it here. 19) The drawings I imported from AutoCAD look huge on my screen. Why? Use the Tools/ Distance command to check the size of the imported drawing. For example, measure a column edge. If you measure the edge that should be 25 cm and shows 25 m, you need to reduce it 100 times. You can use the Modify/ Primitive Entities/ Scale/ Scale (Reference) command. Select the drawing, press the Right mouse button, specify the base point. Enter the reference length value of 100 and press Enter. Enter the new length value as 1 and press Enter. With this command, you will reduce the drawing by 100 to 1. 20) How do I rotate the structure? You can rotate your structure to any angle by using the Rotate Structure command under the Modify menu. 21) I can't get stair drawings. Why? Straight-armed ladders can be drawn in the program. Check whether the reinforced concrete account axis is defined on the staircase that you did not receive the drawings for. If you do not define it, the program does not automatically create the drawings. 22) How can I get the pool report and drawings? The reports and drawings of the apples created with the pool command are not provided in the program. The results are analyzed using the 3D framework and the drawings can be created by the user using the program's two-dimensional possibilities. 23) How do I solve the dome together with the structure? After defining the dome in the required position and geometry in your project, activate the Define Dome-Vault Support command in the Dome auxiliary toolbar. After marking the title of solution with Structure in the dialog that opens, make your adjustments so that only that option(s) are active for each side of the dome, whichever structural element is supported. If you want to solve the dome element together with the structure, it would be a better solution to select the Semi-rigid diaphragm option from the Analysis Settings/General Settings tab. 24) How do I solve the vault together with the building? After defining the vault in the position and geometry it should be in your project, activate the Define Vault Supports command in the Vault auxiliary toolbar. After marking the title of solution together with Structure in the dialog that opens, make your adjustments so that only that option(s) remains active for each side of the vault, whichever building element is supported. If you want to solve the vault element together with the structure, it would be a better solution to select the Semi-rigid diaphragm option from the Analysis Settings/General Settings tab. 25) How do I solve the ladder together with the structure? After defining your ladder in the position and geometry it should be in your project, activate the Determine Stair Support Conditions command in the Stairs helper toolbar. After marking the title of solution with Structure in the dialog that opens, make your adjustments so that only that option/options are active for each side of the ladder, whichever structural element is supported. If you want to solve the ladder element together with the structure, it would be a better solution to select the Semi-rigid diaphragm option from the Analysis Settings/General Settings tab. 26) How can I design a gradual foundation? In the ideCAD Static program, you have the opportunity to build a staggered foundation with foundations on different floors such as a half basement or within a single floor. In order to apply a level in the same floor, you can make steps by entering the level value on the related foundations and the vertical bearing elements sitting on those foundations. If your elements sitting on the foundations are on different floors, the foundation of each element should be defined in the floor window it belongs to. Another point to be noted on the gradual basis is that the Superstructure interactive solution option must be activated in the Analysis Settings/Foundation-Soil tab in order to take into account the interaction at the tiers. 27) How can I access the documents about the program and information about usage?
