This video shows a Blender Bullet physics simulations of a constraint based structure that is modeled automatically by an add-on which is developed as part of the INACHUS research project. The 3D model is based on a IFC model of a realistic building design with exact construction specification.
The presented building is an office tower with 12 upper floors and 1 ground floor. The dimensions of the building according to the footprint are 17.10 x 55,25 m with a height of 48.65 m over ground. The earthquake is carried out according to DIN 4149:2005 applying the response spectrum method. The design of the structure has been conducted in respect to the design regulations of the Eurocode framework. In this video the determined critical acceleration for full collapse is tested which is the maximum threshold value where all members will fail.
This building is only one structure of many different types of building designs to be tested for the VITRUV project. VITRUV is a tool for risk analysis in urban areas, for assessing potential vulnerabilities and the consideration of resilience enhancement measures for decision makers.
