What is Braceworks?

The Braceworks® add-on for Vectorworks Spotlight provides a seamless solution for professionals in design, production, and rigging to evaluate the load-bearing capabilities of temporary structures. This groundbreaking module not only improves safety but also guarantees compliance with engineering regulations and standards, promoting a unified approach to modeling, analysis, and documentation all within one platform. As regulatory frameworks, such as the Eurocodes, become more stringent and demands from venues, municipalities, and property owners escalate, businesses engaged in event design, audiovisual installations, and rigging are increasingly required to generate detailed load and structural calculations for approval by structural engineers. Users are able to perform static and FEM analyses, with results clearly displayed on the model for easy understanding. Furthermore, it generates thorough calculation reports automatically, streamlining the documentation process and boosting efficiency in project execution. This indispensable tool is vital for those in the industry who strive to uphold exceptional standards of safety and compliance in their endeavors. In a rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to swiftly adjust to new requirements is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge.

What is 123Build?

With the user-friendly interface of 123Build, individuals can easily draft a beam of a frame structure directly on their screen. After the initial sketch, the model undergoes an enhancement process that is both graphical and interactive, integrating boundary conditions along with permanent and variable loads. 123Build simplifies complexities in design, consistently achieving optimal results such as beams of minimal height, lightweight steel profiles, or girders that meet deflection limits, facilitating a swift and efficient design experience. This all-encompassing solution includes all necessary features for effective structural design, leading to the creation of a clear and concise analysis report. Furthermore, 123Build offers a comprehensive reinforcement sketch alongside a detailed list of materials, which outlines the total volume of timber and concrete, as well as the overall weight and volume of reinforcement, including calculations for painting surfaces and steel weight. By ensuring a complete understanding of project requirements, this integrated approach not only streamlines the design process but also significantly improves accuracy in material estimation and enhances structural integrity. Ultimately, users benefit from a well-rounded tool that supports both innovative design and meticulous planning.
