Structural Analysis & Structural Design - Structural check while using structural design software

Structural design software is heavily relied for structural analysis & structural design. These structural analysis tools and structural design software have made our work more streamlined and efficient. But here's a fact - are you double-checking the results these tools churn out? It is mandatory that we introduce structural checks and validation in our design workflow to ensure that the results these structural design software produce are accurate and reliable.

In this video you can see a basic check that is mandatory to validate analysis results. Comparing support reactions by hand calculations can ensure the ETABS model or any structural analysis software is giving error free results.

This validation technique is one among many structural check that I employ in my structural design cycle.
