Description

BentStudio serves as an online platform for designing timber and log structures, catering to various projects ranging from small garden sheds and pergolas to larger cabins, workshops, and timber barns. - Create your design: begin with a choice of timber-frame, post-and-beam, or dovetail log-wall configurations. Adjust measurements, sections, roof shapes, trusses, dormers, and lean-tos while the model reflects your changes in real time. - Review your project: seamlessly transition between 3D views, floor plans, and elevation sketches. Examine details closely, focusing on joints, notches, supports, and individual components. - Prepare for construction: save different versions of your project and generate a PDF drawing package complete with timber lists, cutting coordinates, and a modifiable project file. Accessible through a desktop browser, BentStudio also offers an offline HTML download option. The cost is a one-time payment of CAD $199 for a single Studio license, with no recurring fees involved. It’s important to note that BentStudio functions solely as a design and layout tool, rather than a structural engineering service. This makes it an ideal choice for creatives looking to bring their timber building visions to life without the complexities of engineering calculations.

Description

Simcenter S-Frame is a structural engineering software platform from Siemens that helps users model, analyze, design, and document complex structures. It is designed to handle a wide variety of geometry, materials, loading conditions, nonlinear effects, and code requirements. Engineers can use the software to quickly generate regular framework structures, standard trusses, custom trusses, and replicated model sections. BIM and DXF import links help reduce modeling time by allowing teams to bring existing design data into the platform. Simcenter S-Frame includes advanced meshing capabilities for detailed analysis of critical areas and more accurate evaluation of structural behavior. Its analysis capabilities cover linear static, vibration, response spectrum, equivalent lateral force procedures, time history, P-Delta, buckling, staged construction, moving load, nonlinear static, quasi-static, and nonlinear time history studies. The software supports a broad finite element library, including trusses, cables, beams, membranes, plates, shells, solids, springs, link beams, and tension or compression-only members. Integrated steel and concrete design tools help engineers optimize members, check code compliance, and generate professional reports. With BIM links, related S-Frame tools, and visualization support, Simcenter S-Frame gives structural teams a connected environment for faster and more reliable design workflows.
