Abstract:
The present invention is a method for accessing a model of a building; selecting a set of floor joists, wherein the floor joists are identified by a set of members, the type of members, and the member properties; isolating a plurality of the floor joists, wherein the floor joists interface with another floor joists in a horizontal type interface; selecting members of the floor joists involved in the interface, wherein the interface is identified as a connection between the floor joists; detecting the member type and the interface type; calculating a set of actual values associated with the interface type; comparing the set of actual values with a set of required values and determining the delta of the actual values and the required values; and identifying each interface where the delta is outside a predetermined range.
