Modeling a multi-story building using Ansys Apdl 14.5

In summary, the individual is new to Ansys and looking for help on how to model a multi-storey building using only Ansys software. They have considered importing a geometry file from another source, but have not specified which source. The individual's question has been answered.

Hello I am new to Ansys and currently conducting a study on ''property of lightweight structures'' I have read and watched videos online but nobody has the tutorials...i'm hoping someone here can help me on how to model a multi-storey building using Ansys...I hope this post makes sense. Thanks

Creating the geometric representation of a building using just Ansys APDL will be quite an undertaking, since you would be creating potentially hundreds of beams/spars. Have you considered importing a geometry file from another source?

Is the building already designed in some CAD tool? What kind of analysis are you looking to perform on said building?
