1. SCIA Engineer User Conference 2017
CADS Footfall Analysis

2. Introduction CADS Footfall Analysis post-processing software;
CFA links with SCIA Engineer (model geometry);
Uses part of SCIA Engineer’s results as input;
Vertical footfall analysis in accordance with CCIP-016 and SCI P354;
Analyses any type of structure for footfall analysis, irrespective of the shape, material or use.
Footfall Analysis

3. Features
Excitation forces (DLF): CCIP-016, SCI P354, AISC DG11 for floors and stairs;
Frequency weighting curves (BS 6841);
Quick investigation for full model or specific areas;
Cumulative measurement of vibration levels – Vibration Dose Analysis (VDV);
Predictions of the resonant and impulsive (transient) responses;
Intuitive input and output;
Pass/fail limit check in accordance with BS 6472 and ISO
