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

SwiftComp is an innovative composite simulation software that combines multiscale and multiphysics capabilities to provide the precision of 3D finite element analysis (FEA) with the simplicity of basic engineering models. This groundbreaking tool simplifies the modeling process for engineers, allowing them to treat composites with the same ease as metals while maintaining accuracy and capturing intricate microstructural details. It offers cohesive modeling for structures that are one-dimensional (like beams), two-dimensional (such as plates or shells), and three-dimensional, effectively calculating the material properties required. Users can utilize SwiftComp independently for virtual composite testing or as an enhancement to existing structural analysis tools, thereby integrating high-fidelity composite modeling into their workflows. Additionally, SwiftComp excels in determining the optimal structural model for macroscopic analysis and includes capabilities for dehomogenization, which enables the calculation of pointwise stresses within the microstructure. It seamlessly connects with established software such as ABAQUS and ANSYS, further broadening its applicability in engineering projects. As a result, SwiftComp significantly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of composite material modeling in various engineering applications.
