Description

In the intuitive interface of 123Build, users can effortlessly sketch a beam of a frame structure directly on the screen. Following this, the model is enhanced through a graphical and interactive process that incorporates boundary conditions along with both permanent and variable loads. 123Build takes care of the complexities, consistently producing optimal outcomes such as beams with minimal height, steel profiles with reduced weight, or girders that adhere to maximum deflection limits, allowing for both efficient and rapid design. This comprehensive solution encompasses all essential features required for effective structural design, culminating in the generation of a concise and easily understandable analysis report. Additionally, 123Build provides a detailed reinforcement sketch along with a material quantity list, which includes the total volume of timber and concrete, the overall weight and volume of reinforcement, as well as the painting surface and steel weight, ensuring a thorough understanding of the project’s requirements. This all-in-one approach not only streamlines the design process but also enhances accuracy in material estimation and structural integrity.

Description

SolidFEA is a groundbreaking solid finite element analysis tool that aims to make sophisticated structural engineering design both more accessible and cost-effective. Utilizing the Calculix engine, it provides in-depth sub-model analysis while requiring less financial investment and computing power compared to competitors such as Abaqus. This software is particularly well-suited for tackling intricate engineering challenges, such as those found in steel connections and bridge engineering, and it empowers users by making specialized software easier to access. With its ability to import IFC file formats, SolidFEA integrates smoothly into existing engineering workflows, enhancing the functionality of our GenFEA software for thorough structural analysis. By lowering entry barriers traditionally tied to solid finite element analysis (FEA), SolidFEA represents a significant advancement in structural engineering design and encourages innovation by allowing more engineers to participate in complex projects. Ultimately, its user-friendly design and compatibility features facilitate a new era of efficiency in engineering practices.
