Description

MecaWind is a specialized software tool designed to compute wind loads and pressures on the main wind force resisting system (MWFRS) of various structures, including buildings, towers, chimneys, tanks, solar panels, and more. It adheres to the ASCE 7 standard, which is the benchmark for design loads in the United States and is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The software features multiple iterations of the ASCE 7 standard, as well as the Florida Building Code (FBC), allowing users to access ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and the most current ASCE 7-16. Each version represents a distinct update to the standard, with ASCE 7-16 being the latest and including numerous revisions compared to ASCE 7-10. While ASCE 7-05 is part of the software's offerings, it is less commonly used in contemporary applications across various jurisdictions. This comprehensive suite enables engineers to ensure compliance with the latest building codes and standards for wind load assessments.

Description

VABS is a widely-used tool for cross-sectional analysis that allows for rapid and straightforward computation of beam characteristics and the recovery of 3D fields in composite beams, such as those found in helicopter and wind turbine blades. It stands out as the sole tool that can effectively decouple an intricate 3D slender solid with a detailed microstructure into a fundamental engineering beam model. Originating from the aerospace sector, AnalySwift has developed tools specifically for composite beams including helicopter rotor blades, propellers, high aspect ratio wings, and wing section designs, in addition to plates, shells, and 3D structures. With several years of application in the wind turbine industry, VABS consistently provides swift and precise results for wind turbine blade modeling. Furthermore, SwiftComp extends its capabilities to offer solutions for plates, shells, and 3D composite structures. As the automotive industry increasingly incorporates composites into vehicle design, there is a growing potential to utilize both SwiftComp and VABS for modeling a diverse range of structural forms, such as beams, plates, and shells, thereby expanding their applicability. The versatility of these tools makes them invaluable across multiple engineering disciplines.
