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
FloCAD® serves as an add-on module for Thermal Desktop®, creating a comprehensive software solution for thermohydraulic analysis that encompasses fluid flow and heat transfer. The process of constructing fluid flow models in FloCAD closely resembles that of thermal models, allowing for the use of numerous shared commands across both model types. Users can create FloCAD models using a free-form approach, which allows for the simplification and abstraction of flow networks, or they can opt for geometry-based modeling that incorporates elements like pipe centerlines, cross-sections, and intricate vessels, as well as convection calculations linked to finite difference or finite element thermal structures. As an advanced tool for pipe flow analysis, FloCAD effectively accounts for pressure losses within piping networks arising from bends, valves, tees, and variations in flow area, among other factors. This versatility makes FloCAD a valuable asset for engineers looking to optimize system designs.
