Structural Drawing: What It Is and How It’s Evolving by Lucky Balaraman
Structural engineers use engineering formulas relating to material properties and physics to design structures which will withstand all the forces the structures may be subject to. Examples of such forces are gravity, wind shear, stresses due to aging of materials and seismic vibration. ... This software created two-dimensional (“2D”) images of structures; conceptualizing the actual object in its real, three-dimensional (“3D”) form took place only in the mind. ... But the twenty-first century saw the emergence of advanced 3D software tools for structural drafting.
