What is new in the latest version of Fespa IS?
Automatic calculation of wind loads according to Indian Standards
Wind pressure is distributed along the height of the building according to IS875-3 §5.4 and the resulting force acts on the diaphragms. The generated wind actions are automatically combined, according to IS456 table 8, with dead, imposed loads and with snow (if any).
The wind load pattern in elevation is presented in the Report.
Flat slab simulation using the equivalent frame method
In Fespa IS flat slabs can be analysed and designed using the equivalent frame method according to Indian Standards.
In Fespa IS flat slabs are simulated using the «Beam» entity. The uniformly distributed load is applied as linear to the simulation beams, which are characterised as flat slabs and the reinforcement is automatically calculated. Checks and detailing are carried out according to IS456.
Automatic creation of multiple grid lines
Using as reference one prototype grid line, create instantly in the defined location a set of parallel grid lines.
