Development of SAGS-Visual Pretreatment Software for Tall Building Structural Analysis
Yansheng Huang · Building Science · 2003
Nowadays the tall building structure is trending more a nd more complex, which leads to higher requirement for visual software of struct ural analysis. On the one hand this kind of software must be multifunctional, su itable for different kinds of calculation suppositions and calculation models an d can offer various calculation elements. On the other hand it must provide an e asily input environment. Using object oriented programming language Delphi, the author has developed a pretreatment software for the visualization of tall b uilding structural analysis-the SAGS. This software is a multifunctional and m ulti-interface pretreatment program. It overcomes the disadvantage of simplex fu nction of present domestic software and avoids the shortcoming of complicated in put of foreign software as well. This article introduces its design concept in d etails, and expatiates the design principle of Graphic User Interface, Graphic D isplay Module and Data Management Module. It also indicates measures of ensuring the stability and reliability of the software. These theories could provide use ful references for developing pretreatment program of structural analysis.
