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

Currently, structural and civil engineers face immense challenges and pressures in their work. The expectation to produce more output with fewer resources and in a shorter time frame, all while maintaining the same standards of safety, budget efficiency, and adherence to codes, is overwhelming. This situation is compounded by tighter financial constraints, compressed deadlines, and constantly evolving regulatory requirements. Clients often request design modifications without any adjustments to the budget, adding to the stress of professionals in this field. Structural engineers are highly qualified individuals, and the precision required in our work carries significant responsibility for any errors made. The ongoing competitive landscape and increased workloads can significantly impact the quality and detail of our projects. Faced with these dilemmas, many professionals ponder their options: should they work longer hours, bring additional help on board, or scale back their project commitments? The pressing question arises: "How can I enhance the quality of my engineering designs without pushing my team to the brink or sacrificing profits through excessive hiring?" This is where the Structural Engineering Library (SEL) comes into play, serving as the most comprehensive, reliable, and extensively utilized system for streamlining daily structural engineering calculations and design processes. By leveraging such resources, engineers can find a balance between efficiency and quality, ultimately easing the burdens of their demanding roles.
