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

ProStructures is an all-encompassing application designed for the design of steel and concrete structures, aimed at enhancing both productivity and profitability in your projects. This powerful tool enables users to build and seamlessly update three-dimensional models that incorporate structural steel and reinforced concrete elements. ProSteel, a key component of this suite, facilitates the modeling and detailing of steel structures catering to various sectors. Users can efficiently generate models and documentation for steel frameworks, ensuring the delivery of precise 3D representations while extracting essential engineering, fabrication, and erection drawings. The application allows for automatic updates whenever modifications are made to the 3D model, ensuring that all information remains current. It also produces detailed drawings for every conceivable steel shape, connection, and plate work directly from the 3D representation. Moreover, it has the capability to generate and refresh in-drawing reports, external documentation, and bills of material. Additionally, users can create comprehensive 3D models alongside design drawings, fabrication specifics, and schedules that automatically reflect any alterations made to the 3D model, streamlining the entire design process further. This integration of features makes ProStructures an invaluable asset for professionals in the field.
