5. History of AutoCAD
 AutoCAD was derived from a program begun in 1977 and
released in 1979 called Interact CAD, also referred to in
early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written
prior to Autodesk's (then Marinchip Software Partners)
formation by Autodesk cofounder Michael Riddle.
 The company was founded in 1982 by John Walker, a
coauthor of the first versions of AutoCAD, the company's
flagship computer-aided design (CAD) software.
 The first version by the Autodesk Company was
demonstrated at the 1982 Comdex and released that
December.
 The 2019 release marked the 33rd major release for the
AutoCAD for Windows.

What is AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is a commercial software
application for 2D and 3D computer-
aided design (CAD) and drafting —
available since 1982 as a desktop
application and since 2010 as a
mobile web- and cloud-based app
marketed as AutoCAD 360.

18. BIM
What is BIM?
Building Information Modelling is digital
representation of physical and functional
characteristics of a facility creating a
shared knowledge resource for
information about it forming a reliable
basis for decisions during its life cycle,
from earliest conception to demolition.
 Building Information Modelling
 Building Information Model
 Building Information Management

21. BIM
Building Information Modelling
 – A Process (not software) – A New Way of Doing Things
 – Not CAD (2D line-based drafting / no inherent intelligence)
 – Production of Reliable & Coordinated Documentation
 – “Data-Rich” Virtual 3D Model of a Project – the “i” in BIM
 – Recording all Vital Design Information in a Single Database
 – Used by all Stakeholders throughout the Projects Lifecycle

24. Revit
What is Revit?
Autodesk Revit is building information
modeling software for architects, landscape
architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers,
designers and contractors. The original software
was developed by Charles River Software,
founded in 1997, renamed Revit Technology
Corporation in 2000, and acquired by Autodesk in
2002.

25. Revit Architecture
What is Revit Architecture?
 Autodesk Revit® Architecture
is a robust architectural design
and documentation software
application created by
Autodesk for architects and
building professionals.
 The tools and features that
make up Revit® Architecture
are specifically designed to
support Building Information
Modeling (BIM) workflows.
25

26. Revit Architecture
 There are many categories of
objects ('families' in Revit
terminology), which divide into
three groups:
 System Families, such as walls,
floors, roofs and ceilings which
are built inside a project
 Loadable Families /
Components, which are built
with primitives (extrusions,
sweeps, etc.) separately from
the project and loaded into a
project for use
 In-Place Families, which are built
in-situ within a project with the
same toolset as loadable
components.

60. INTRODUCTION
 • STAAD.Pro is a structural analysis design program software.
 • It includes a state of the art user interface, visualization tools
and international design codes.
 • It is used for 3D model generation, analysis and multi-material
design.
 • The commercial version of STAAD.Pro supports several steel
concrete and timber design codes.
 • It is one of the software applications created to help structural
engineers to automate their tasks and to remove the tedious
and long procedures of the manual methods.
60

61. HISTORY OF STAAD.Pro
 • STAAD.Pro was originally developed in 1997 by Research Engineers
International in Yorba Linda, CA.
 • In late 2005, Research Engineer International was bought
by Bentley Systems.
61

62. STRUCTURE
 • A STRUCTURE can be defined as an assemblage of elements.
STAAD is capable of analyzing and designing structures consisting of
both frame, and Finite elements. Almost any type of structure can
be analyzed by STAAD.
 Frame elements – Beam elements – 2 nodes
 Finite elements – 1.) Plate – 3 or 4 nodes
 2.) Solid – 4 to 8 nodes
 • In case of STAAD
Node becomes Joint it has a number and xyz coordinates
Beam becomes Member it has a number and nodes at its ends
Plate becomes Element it has a number and node at its corners
62

63. TYPES OF STRUCTURE
• A TRUSS structure consists of truss members which can have only
axial member forces and no bending in the members
• A PLANE structure is bound by a global X-Y coordinate system with
loads in the same plane
• A SPACE structure, which is a three dimensional framed structure
with loads applied in any plane, is the most general.
• A FLOOR structure is a two or three dimensional structure having
no
horizontal (global X or Z) movement of the structure [FX, FZ & MY are
restrained at every joint]. The floor framing (in global X-Z plane) of a
building is an ideal example of a FLOOR structure. Columns can also
be modelled with the floor in a FLOOR structure as long as the
structure has no horizontal loading. If there is any horizontal load, it
must be analyzed as a SPACE structure.

69. MODEL GENERATION
• There are basically 3 methods of generating a model
1. Snap node method
2. Coordinate method
3. Copy paste method
• Out of these three methods most commonly used is copy
paste method
• By using these three methods a structure of any geometry
can be created
• STAAD.Pro also contains a command wizard which is its
library of structures such as frames , trusses are present
which can be merged with the STAAD.Pro model

70. WIZARD 70

71. ASSIGNING PROPERTY
Assigning a property means to provide dimensions such as
width, thickness etc to beams columns slabs etc
71

72. SUPPORTS 72

73. ASSIGNING LOADS 73

74. PERFORM ANALYSIS 74

75. RUN ANALYSIS 75

76. DESIGN
• After analysis a structure has to be designed to carry loads
acting on it considering a certain factor of safety .
• In India structures are designed by using various Indian codes
for both concrete and steel structures.
• The design in STAAD.Pro supports over 70 international codes
and over 20 U.S. codes in 7 languages.
• After designing the structure it is again analyzed and results of
analysis for each beam and column is shown in the output file
