Analysis Model
The 3D models are created to perform the analysis and design of the structure using SAP2000 software. Separate 3D Simulation models are shown belowfor the three blocks, which are separated structurally by means of isolation joints indicated earlier. The forces from Block-2 beams are transferred to the beams of adjacent blocks (1 & 3) through point forces. The dimensions of structural elements are shown, whereas detailsare given in Section-8, when design of members is presented.

Point Forces
A point force is any force where the point of application is considered to be a single point. In reality, most forces are technically surface forces, where the force is applied over an area, but when the area is small enough (in comparison to the bodies being analyzed) it can often be approximated as a point force. Because point forces can be represented as a single vector (rather than a field of vectors for distributed forces), they are much easier to work with in engineering analysis. For this reason, point forces are used in place of distributed forces in engineering analysis whenever possible. Below are some examples of where it is appropriate to use point forces.
