Turkish I am reviewing the demo version of İdecad V6. I may not have enough usage knowledge. I watched the videos included in the demo CD. There were some questions that came to my mind. I wanted to share these questions that came to my mind for now. Thank you in advance for your information. Respects. 1- When we model a round beam, how do we turn this beam into a panel element later on? 2- Assuming that we have created a closed area between two circular axes with two straight axes intersecting them, how will the reinforcement axes of the flooring we make in this area be, and do not we throw the reinforcement properly before we determine the reinforcement axis? 3- Can we model a staircase in an enclosed space as in item 2? 4- Although it seems to be simplified in terms of drawing and visuality, how does IdeCad V6 take them into account in calculations? 5- When the tiles are divided into finite elements, can we play the split elements as in sap2000? Even when dividing the Sap2000 program, sometimes it cannot divide correctly? 6- How does the program detect the drawn beam etc. even though the axis definition is not made? 7- Does the panel element defined between the columns perceive the column at both ends as a header column? 8- We can make tears on the floors as we want, this is very nice, but how does he take them into account in the calculations? (Or is it constructive?) 9- Is it possible to define angular rotating flooring? Like spiral staircases, for example? 10-Can the ladder be modeled with the current project? Is it only possible to make a separate account? 11-When I make inclined flooring, the beams deviate and their automatic elevation changes Akın ÇINAR Civil Eng. 0533 6515811
My personal questions about ideCad v6

1. You have to enter the round panel element as segmented flat panels. 2. Determining the reinforcement axles is your choice as an engineer. If your area looks roughly like a rectangle, you need to cast a cross and a longitudinal axis. By defining the reinforcement axis, you are describing the program to calculate and cast the reinforcement in the direction you want, the program defines 2 reinforcement axes by default when creating a slab. You can interfere with them later. 3.You can model. 4. If you call the 3D frame command after the analysis (the program automatically enters this mode after the analysis and shows the deformations), you can examine in detail the static carrier system (analysis model) corresponding to each element you entered and their connection. 5. You have the chance to interfere with the mean length and boundary conditions of the slab finite elements. Compared to SAP2000, since the program works with a higher level of information input (it is aware of the properties of the floors, their connections with the surrounding beams/columns, support conditions, etc.), it automatically creates the correct mesh with a very large ratio. 6. In ideCAD, you don't have to define axes everywhere for data entry. If you want, you can enter your project without defining any axis. The important thing is your carrier elements. As stated in Article 4, you can always examine your carrier system with the 3D frame command, or you can transfer it to the SAP2000 program if you want. 7. Panels create their own titles. You don't need to enter colons at both ends. 8. Since the slabs are solved with the finite element method, all kinds of geometry and spaces are taken into account by creating a suitable mesh in the analysis model. 9. Unable to identify. 10. Ladder calculations can be made separately by defining boundary conditions for the ladder. 11. When you slope the floor, the program raises the frame beams to the appropriate level. First enter your floor horizontally with the joists, then slope it.
First of all, thank you for the information you have provided. I'm still in the review phase. However, I would like to ask if there is a possibility to be made prospective from the answers you have given so far. 1- Why can a round beam element be applied but not a round panel element? For example, today, architects pay attention to creating round, elliptical buildings, despite us engineers 
)). Yes, the beam model can be made round, thus opening the way for the program both visually and statically, but the same problems can occur on the basement floor. When modeled as you say, you can make correct calculations in areas where there are no panel elements on the ground and upper floors, but if you think that the outer frame in the basement consists entirely of round panels, will a completely different visuality and a completely different calculation emerge? or can the round beam be made visually, is the calculation made as if the beam there is straight? I haven't been able to get to the calculation stage yet, but I wanted to point it out because I am of the opinion that there will be a contradiction in the end anyway. 2- Even if we determine the reinforcement axes, is it possible to get a smooth drawing for a closed area where you think that two straight axes are cut by two curved axes? 3- I saw that the slab finite elements average length and boundary conditions were interfered with, but what I want to say is of course, I don't think there will be a problem in square rectangular slabs, but in transitions from round or triangular slabs to other slabs, for example, sap2000 divides them into finite elements and then the joint parts sometimes overlap and sometimes do not. Even if this is not a big problem in slabs, finite elements do not converge at intersections due to the division of the slab finite elements and the division of the panel elements in the areas where the panel elements meet the slabs. I don't know if there is a problem in IdeCad in this way, but I think it would be better if these regions could be intervened. 4-You said that the panels create their own titles. So when I make a panel definition between two jacketed columns when I do a strengthening project, will the panel create separate headers at the ends? 5-I think it would be nice both visually and for the engineer if the ladder calculations could be shown in the model and the calculations could be made together and the detail would be given as a separate sheet. 6-I entered the floor horizontally first. Then I tilted. I already modeled this as you said. While one beam next to it stood at the same level, it gave a different automatic level to the other beam. While reading on the forum, a friend shared about it. It seems like it would be nicer to give the floors and beams lower, upper, right, and left levels and to make them perceive the slope themselves. There is a sample program that does this. I see IdeCad as a company that prioritizes customer satisfaction, responds as quickly as possible, and takes care to fulfill the requests of its users in the most up-to-date and fastest way. I sincerely believe that there is a company that can do much better. Respects. Akın ÇINAR Civil Eng. 0533 6515811

It is solved as a multi-point round element. The curved panel has not been added to the program yet. 2-It is possible, the program assigns reinforcement in line with the reinforcement axes you have given. Each axis has a valid distance. 3-The program automatically creates the tile mesh usually properly. We did not encounter the need for manual intervention to the network. If you have encountered a specific situation in the demo you have, add your project and let's examine it. 4-There is an option to use the columns at both ends of the reinforcement panels as headers. In a normal project, when you enter a single panel, you do not need to enter a separate column to have headers at both ends. 5-6-it is on our list of things to do in the future...
