PROCESS OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Modeling

• Easy-to-use 3D modeling functions on a graphical user interface

• Import of architectural models, creating structural framework from IFC automatically

• Drawing objects (walls, slabs, columns, beams) directly

• State of the art 6 and 9 node isoparametric second order finite elements

• Nodal, linear and surface supports (elastic foundation, nonlinearity)

• Point, line and surface loads, moving and dynamic loads

• Automatic meshing, mesh refinement functions

Analyses

• Linear, nonlinear static analysis

• 1st order, 2nd order vibration analysis

• Dynamic analysis (time-history analysis)

• Buckling analysis (critical load parameter)

• Seismic analysis with response spectrum method or using actual seismic accelerograms

Result evaluation

• Result tables with filtering options

• Display of displacements, forces and stresses as diagrams, isolines or isosurfaces

• Diagrams on sections, section planes and sectiion segments (average and integrated results)

• Report Maker (automatically updated tables, drawings, user-defined pictures and texts)

• Dimension lines and symbols, result labels, finding and displaying extreme values

• Animaton of displacement or vibration

Design

• Checking reinforced concrete colunmns and designing reinforced beams

• Pad footing design

• Surface reinforcement, punching analysis

• Efficiency check of steel structures

• Efficiency check of solit timber, LVL or GLULAM structures
