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 Altair S-FRAME?

S-FRAME offers users the ability to design, analyze, and model a diverse range of structures, accommodating various geometric complexities, types of materials, loading conditions, nonlinear behaviors, and compliance with numerous design codes. With automated framework generators, it facilitates quick model creation and allows for the importation of models via BIM and DXF links, significantly boosting productivity through integrated tools for both concrete and steel design that promote optimization, code compliance, and thorough report generation. Users can quickly define structures through advanced modeling automation, which includes options to create either standard or custom trusses and utilize cloning tools for duplicating any part of their models. The capacity to import existing BIM and DXF models further streamlines the modeling process, saving considerable time. Additionally, S-FRAME incorporates advanced meshing tools to create a finite element mesh, enabling users to obtain detailed analytical results for specific areas of interest. Users can also enhance their analysis by easily converting members into multi-shell models, thus expanding their analytical capabilities. In addition to these features, S-FRAME fosters collaboration among teams by allowing for easy sharing of models and results. Ultimately, S-FRAME serves as a robust solution that meets the evolving demands of contemporary structural design and analysis.
