In the schematic design of a tall building structure, a structural designer builds structural analysis models for many schemes. However, conventional modelling techniques force the designer to view the scheme as an assembly of many members related in a complicated manner. Therefore, the modelling scheme is laborious, prone to error and time‐consuming. In this study, we present a new modelling technique that uses a subsystem—that is, the assembly of the members participated in a specific type of load transfer—as the primary modelling unit. We expect this modelling technique to allow simple modelling of a scheme. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
