What is Simcenter S-Frame?

Simcenter S-Frame is a Siemens structural analysis and design solution created for engineers who need to evaluate buildings, industrial structures, energy facilities, and other complex projects. It allows users to model, analyze, and design structures regardless of geometric complexity, material type, loading condition, nonlinear behavior, or design code requirement. The software helps reduce modeling time through automated framework generators, standard and custom truss creation, model cloning, and BIM or DXF import capabilities. Engineers can use its advanced meshing tools to focus detailed analysis on specific areas of interest and convert members into multi-shell models with equivalent shell loading. Simcenter S-Frame supports a comprehensive list of analysis types, including linear static, vibration, response spectrum analysis, equivalent static and lateral force procedures, time history, P-Delta, buckling, staged construction, moving load, nonlinear static, quasi-static, and nonlinear time history analysis. Its finite element library supports trusses, cables, beams, membranes, plates, shells, solids, linear and nonlinear springs, link beams with nonlinear hysteresis behavior, and tension or compression-only members. The platform includes integrated steel design tools for strength and serviceability checks, composite beam design, camber calculations, shear stud layouts, member optimization, and custom steel design reporting. It also includes integrated concrete design capabilities for beams, columns, walls, continuous beams, code checks, utilization ratios, governing load cases, and design clause references. Simcenter S-Frame can connect with other tools such as Simcenter S-Frame Timber and Simcenter S-Frame Foundation for timber design and foundation analysis. Bidirectional BIM links with Revit and TEKLA Structures, along with AutoCAD DXF import, help teams collaborate more effectively and streamline model creation.

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.
