We will unveil the secrets to mastering cable-stayed bridge design and explore essential topics, from the theoretical background of cable-stayed bridges to analysis philosophy and system optimization principles. We will also discover how to wield the power of SOFiSTiK’s axis-based GUI to control crucial bridge geometry factors effortlessly.

What you'll learn:

• Theoretical background of cable bridges, analysis philosophy and system optimization principles
• Control of geometry (deck width, span length, cable spacing, pylon height, etc.) using the axis-based GUI of SOFiSTiK
• Cable force optimization in the final state using deformation constraints in Teddy
• Checks for deformations and cable stresses; extract quantities
   

Date and time:

• Thursday, March 07, 2024
• 3:00 p.m. Indian Standard Time (IST) / 10:30 a.m. CEST

Have you registered yet for our upcoming online event on the highlights of SOFiSTiK | 2024?

The 2024 version focuses on SOFiSTiK's core competencies - parametrics, fast solvers, and seamless interfaces - delivering them to your computer in a safe, fast and open manner. New technology for modeling complex 3D reinforcement models complements the powerful parametrics for the modeling of BIM and analytical models in bridge construction. Additionally, standard building components in building design can now be efficiently inserted from intelligent reinforcement templates, and calculations from the BIM model are "BIM-ready."

In four compact presentations, we will present new workflows and features using practical examples and show you how SOFiSTiK | 2024 makes your work more flexible and efficient.

Your SOFiSTiK Team

We are happy to announce the release of SOFiSTiK | 2024 in all product lines. The new SOFiSTiK Version 2024 focuses on the key competencies of SOFiSTiK such as parametrics, fast solvers, and seamless interfaces, delivering them to your computer in a safe, fast and open manner. New technology for modeling complex 3D reinforcement models complements the powerful parametrics for the modeling of BIM and analytical models in bridge construction.

Reinforcement of standard members in building construction can now be quickly inserted from intelligent reinforcement templates, saving valuable time. Additionally, the calculation and code checking from the BIM model become fully "BIM-ready" with automatic member labeling and the column design assistant. Thanks to extended functionalities of the Analytical Model Generator, users also benefit from an effortless coordination between the BIM model and the analytical model. For faster results in eigenvalue calculations, Ritz vector analysis and automatic time step selection for dynamic moving load trains are available.

The new features are rounded off with cutting-edge learning materials, such as the "Getting Started" videos for the Reinforcement App "RC" and a tutorial on railway bridge FEA, facilitating the efficient use of SOFiSTiK.
