Description

Advance Design serves as a robust and user-friendly FEM Structural Analysis tool specifically tailored for structural engineers working within a BIM ecosystem. It adeptly handles the design of various structures, accommodating different load types while integrating concrete, timber, and steel components seamlessly. With compliance to significant code standards, including Eurocodes and North American guidelines, Advance Design elevates the BIM experience significantly. It fosters intelligent, model-driven workflows that benefit engineers and construction professionals alike. By functioning as a BIM platform, it ensures the preservation of geometric and analytical data throughout the design process via smooth model transfers. Furthermore, analysis outcomes are preserved within the Digital Model and contribute meaningfully to the BIM workflow. For example, these results can facilitate the initiation of rebar designs or steel connection processes directly within Revit, creating innovative opportunities in structural design. With its powerful capabilities, user-friendly interface, and full compatibility with Revit®, Advance Design is backed by a dedicated team of experts and offers a flexible licensing structure to accommodate diverse user needs. This combination of features makes it an essential tool for modern structural engineering.

Description

SolidFEA is a groundbreaking solid finite element analysis tool that aims to make sophisticated structural engineering design both more accessible and cost-effective. Utilizing the Calculix engine, it provides in-depth sub-model analysis while requiring less financial investment and computing power compared to competitors such as Abaqus. This software is particularly well-suited for tackling intricate engineering challenges, such as those found in steel connections and bridge engineering, and it empowers users by making specialized software easier to access. With its ability to import IFC file formats, SolidFEA integrates smoothly into existing engineering workflows, enhancing the functionality of our GenFEA software for thorough structural analysis. By lowering entry barriers traditionally tied to solid finite element analysis (FEA), SolidFEA represents a significant advancement in structural engineering design and encourages innovation by allowing more engineers to participate in complex projects. Ultimately, its user-friendly design and compatibility features facilitate a new era of efficiency in engineering practices.
