D7.A.2 Analysis Methodology
The elastic analysis method is used to obtain the forces and moments for
design. Analysis is done for the primary and combination loading conditions you provide. You
are allowed complete flexibility in providing loading specifications and in using appropriate
load factors to create necessary loading situations. Depending upon the analysis requirements,
regular stiffness analysis or P-Delta analysis may be specified. Dynamic analysis may also be
performed and the results combined with static analysis results.
