Start with a template or create grids based on structural drawings to set up spans and support locations. Define and assign span elements (slabs, ribs and longitudinal beams/bands), sup-port elements (columns, capitals, drop panels and transverse beams/bands) and loads to complete the model.
Once the model is ready, the Solve command opens the Design and Deflection options, allowing users to customize the analysis settings. The spSlab Equivalent Frame Method (EFM) solver is then launched using the Run command. Results are provided in both tabular form and as diagrams.
spSlab features a modern reporting tool that allows users to view, customize, print, and export reports in various formats. The tool helps generate professional project submittals with flexible options to include as much or as little detail as needed. Users can also add detailed screenshots of diagrams to better illustrate structural behavior within the reports.
Templates in spSlab offer predefined slab and beam systems, allowing users to create models simply, quickly, and accurately. Users can select from various slab and beam categories and customize parameters like spans, supports, loads, and materials. Models are ready for analysis within minutes, with design results available for immediate review.
