Sneak peak at load takedown feature in Tribby3d

Sneak peak of a feature that’s been cooking for a while – Column load takedown of multi-story buildings! 💥 Each column carries the load above it, which means the load will accumulate as we get closer to the ground. In this demo, a load takedown analysis is run on the model, and then the cumulative […]
