Assemblage Stages in LIRA-CAD
LIRA-CAD provides convenient tools for defining the assemblage sequence of structures directly within the BIM design environment. Assemblage stages can be created automatically or manually, depending on the complexity of the object and the analysis requirements.
Generating assemblage stages:
- by floor — for typical multi-story buildings;
- by individual structural elements and loads — for detailed modeling of non-typical or complex structural schemes.
Adjusting the assemblage sequence:
After the stages have been generated automatically, the engineer can manually adjust the assemblage sequence of individual elements in accordance with the actual construction schedule.
Load classification:
For each load, its association with a specific assemblage stage is defined, or its status as post-stage — that is, applied only after the structure's assemblage has been completed.
The source data prepared in LIRA-CAD is transferred to LIRA-FEM, where the model is analyzed directly, taking staged assemblage into account. After the transfer, the data remains flexible — LIRA-FEM allows editing, adding, or removing assemblage stages to refine the design model without needing to return to LIRA-CAD.
