Missing ETABS analysis Result Type

Features & Ideas
3

Hi @bjoern ,

Thank you for your response. Here are some of my follow-ups:

  1. Result Types: results type can be grouped into 2 based on a structural engineer perspective.

  • Building Response: including modal information, story forces, story drifts, base reaction, etc. this information can be found under Structure Output in ETABS tables, and it is necessary for engineers to give preliminary judgement before jumping into structural design process.

  • Element Forces: including element forces (frame, piers, spandrels, joint displacement, etc.) I believe we have already got some of these.

So, from a structural POV, I expect I would get those results out from ETABS and uploaded to Speckle.

  1. My current workflow: here is what I am trying to achieve right now
  • Building response information and element forces from ETABS model.
  • Publish to Speckle.
  • Fetch analysis results from our custom web app.
  • My web app will display building response results (like overturning moments, shears, story drifts, etc.) for the users (engineers).
  • If overall behavior of a building is good enough, then engineers can proceed to Element design workflow which can be utilized based on the Element Forces uploaded to Speckle.
  • My web app will use Element Forces results to provide further automation on member design (columns, beam, walls, etc.)

In short, I want to utilize Speckle to work as a “back-end” for my web app I just need to fetch the published results.

Another question, I can see analysisResults field in Dev Mode in my model, how can I get that object results and use it in a web app?
