Requires: IES QuickFooting

QuickFooting designs and checks a spread-footing under a column. The tool provides sophisticated checks of the footing and pedestal including all the rebar details. Integration can save a tremendous amount of data-entry time by exporting reactions from many load cases and multiple columns automatically. 

How to Use IES QuickFooting

1. Define Export Result Type in the Project Settings: QuickFooting can use service case results or "pre-factored" strength-level load combination results.
2. If exporting Service Cases, go to Load Case Manager and enable analysis for all the service cases. 
3. After analysis completes, select one or more supported nodes in the Result View and choose Tools | Export to QuickFooting.
4. Design your footings and save your project through QuickFooting.

Notes

No information transfers back to VisualAnalysis. If your forces change in VisualAnalysis you must start the process over or manually update the QuickFooting project. Your QuickFooting project is completely independent of your VisualAnalysis project.

When exporting strength-level results, for prefactored loading in QuickFooting, you get lower-quality design checks. Also, you may get extra load combinations from VisualAnalysis that do not need checking in QuickFooting.

Sign conventions and coordinate systems may be different in QuickFooting than in VisualAnalysis.

Troubleshooting

Common solutions for export issues:

2. Check the "File Associations" on a QuickFooting (.ftg) project file to make sure that Window Explorer will open it with the latest version of QuickFooting.
