SU.1056 Structural follow-up: concrete design, slabs and shear walls, wind and seismic loads

Asked: ETABS as the main program, so a Linux user can switch (#1056, Oct 25). Same family as SU.878 (#878, #754, #859), #908 and #890.

Built and reachable in the Analysis panel of BimCraft and DetailCraft: model (members, end releases, slabs, walls, rigid floors, supports), load cases and your own loads (node, member, area pressures), combinations typed by hand or made from ASCE 7 and EN 1990, first-order and P-Delta results (forces, reactions, deflections, plate moments), natural frequencies by finite elements (modal masses, mode shapes), concrete member and slab checks (0.8), seismic equivalent lateral force with drift check (0.8), reports (PDF, CSV). Wind can be entered as your own pressures in a Wind case; every panel says 'not a code check; your engineer reviews the results'.
Not built (split to SU.1056b): wind loads made from ASCE 7-22 chapters 26-27 and the code's seismic hazard data. Response spectrum, time history and nonlinear analysis: built (see the last line). Not there: design checks beyond those listed. This is a frame and shell analysis program for the stated ask; it is not ETABS and makes no claim to equal it.

mounts-09 2026-11-06: P-Delta help in BimCraft. fem-complete 2026-11-06: modal block wired in both apps, help, tests (docs/0.9-sessions/fem-09.md).

dynamics 2026-11-06: response spectrum (CQC, SRSS, ten percent, 100/30 or SRSS directions, table or ASCE 7 shape, optional scale to a typed base shear), time history (modal and Newmark, Rayleigh and modal damping, record file, paste or synthetic), pushover and nonlinear time history by plastic hinges with P-delta. Blocks under Finite elements in BimCraft and DetailCraft; real-building check = SU.1056-HAND. Not built: brace yielding and buckling, hinges inside a span, code checks.
