Users can now introduce curved flights of stairs using the “Stairs” module of CYPECAD. The “Predefined shape” option includes:
- Straight flights
Son las formas predefinidas que se incluían desde versiones anteriores. - Curved and straight flights
- Curve
- Curve with straight flight
- Curve with two straight flights
- Two curves with three straight flights
Using the “Free shape” option, users can combine straight and curved flights, and create an infinite number of staircase shapes.
The finite element analysis model for staircases operates, as it always has, independently from the rest of the structure for the analysis. The program automatically transfers the loads of the stairs to the complete structural model at its supports, start, end and intermediate supports as averaged line loads.
