Summary
The chain of analyses used for the World Trade Center towers, with the typical mesh size and time step of each analysis. Based on Gross and McAllister (2005), pp. xxxix and 9, and Prasad and Baum (2005), p. iii.
Original illustration for Finite element analysis, level 4 Expert.
- Source basis: Gross and McAllister (2005), p. xxxix (Figure E–1, critical analysis inter-dependencies: redraw, do not copy; resolutions 50 cm and 10⁻³ s, 1–2 cm and 1 s, 1 to 60 in. and 600 s; scale ranges), p. 9 (mapping between models complex); Prasad and Baum (2005), p. iii (Fire Structure Interface)
- Alt text: Flowchart from a fire simulation via a thermal finite element model to a structural finite element model, with the mesh size and time step of each.
