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

PLAXIS 3D encompasses crucial features necessary for conducting routine deformation and safety assessments related to soil and rock. This all-encompassing software facilitates the design and evaluation of soils, rocks, and their associated structures, enabling straightforward full 3D modeling. Users can efficiently create and adjust construction sequences for excavation projects. Additionally, it supports the calculation of steady-state groundwater flow, taking into account flow-related material parameters, boundary conditions, drainage systems, and wells. The software allows for the incorporation of interfaces and embedded pile elements to accurately simulate interactions between soil and foundation, addressing issues like slipping and gapping. With robust soil models and an extensive array of visualization tools, users can achieve reliable results. To tackle the specific geotechnical issues presented by soil-structure interactions, PLAXIS 3D provides various calculation methods, including plasticity, consolidation, and safety analysis, ensuring comprehensive coverage of user needs. Ultimately, this versatility makes it an indispensable tool for engineers in the field.
