Description

The Braceworks® add-on for Vectorworks Spotlight offers design, production, and rigging experts a streamlined method to assess the performance of temporary structures when subjected to loads. This innovative module prioritizes safety and adherence to engineering regulations, facilitating a fully integrated process for modeling, analysis, and documentation all within a single interface. With regulatory demands like the Eurocodes and the rising expectations of venues, municipalities, and property owners, event design, A/V, and rigging firms are increasingly required to provide load and structural calculations for approval by structural engineers. Users can perform static analyses and finite element method (FEM) evaluations, with results visually represented on the model for straightforward interpretation. Furthermore, it allows for the automatic creation of comprehensive calculation reports, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in the documentation process. By simplifying these complex tasks, the module ultimately supports professionals in delivering safe and compliant events.

Description

DeepFND is an advanced, intuitive software solution specifically designed for the comprehensive design of deep foundation piles, combining both geotechnical and structural calculations in a seamless environment. This innovative tool empowers engineers to accurately calculate the axial geotechnical pile capacity, encompassing factors like skin friction and end bearing, while also allowing for the assessment of settlement responses based on Standard Penetration Test (SPT) or Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data. Furthermore, users can conduct thorough lateral pile analyses, focusing on displacement, shear, and moment, through specified head-loads or pushover methods. The software facilitates the design of individual piles, pile groups, and even pile rafts, accommodating various custom pile-cap geometries. DeepFND supports a wide range of pile types, including drilled, driven, continuous flight auger (CFA), caissons, drilled-in-displacement, micropiles, and helical piles, and effectively models soil-structure interaction through either soil springs or a sophisticated 3D finite-element analysis. Additionally, it allows for structural evaluations under both service and factored load conditions, adhering to numerous international design codes such as ACI, AISC, Eurocodes, AS/NZS, Chinese Standards, and AASHTO LRFD, ensuring versatility and compliance across different engineering standards. With its robust features and user-centric design, DeepFND stands out as an essential tool for engineers involved in deep foundation projects.
