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

Numerous professionals utilize VisualAnalysis (VA) to efficiently meet their project deadlines. Users frequently commend it as "exceptional value" and "incredibly user-friendly." It provides essential tools that are budget-conscious. The software allows for the creation of 3D models for a variety of structures, including complete buildings, tanks, and towers, alongside offering both static and dynamic response analysis capabilities. It performs design code verifications for materials such as steel, wood, concrete, cold-formed steel, and aluminum. VisualAnalysis features comprehensive analysis and design functionalities, including automatic plate meshing, a command window, nonlinear elements, and dynamic time history analysis. Its 3D static and dynamic finite element analysis (FEA) is suitable for civil, mechanical, aerospace, and other types of structural evaluations. Additionally, it includes optional support for building code load combinations. Users can easily apply loads, distribute area loads to structural members, and manage gravity and lateral loads within the same project. The software enables the creation of frame, truss, or FEA models for nearly any type of structure, with the ability to sketch, generate, and import designs from CAD or BIM tools like Revit. With its rapid static analysis, P-delta calculations, AISC Direct methods, dynamic assessments, and nonlinear capabilities, it delivers proven and validated results for engineering professionals. Overall, VisualAnalysis stands out as a versatile solution for various engineering needs.
