Grasshopper is an interesting tool to use. It allows to program graphically and in quite readable manner. For prototype, we re-created the Sázava footbridge parametrically in Grasshopper.
OpenAPI in SCIA Engineer is a set of libraries and examples in C# that was used to create models of SuDoVo bridges, with complex shape and combination of beam and slab members.
Based on the Table Input and VBA macros in Excel we developed a proof of concept, which reads DXF (DWG) drawings. In this case the DXF contains multiple storeys drawn separately in the 2D environment.
Table Input in SCIA Engineer is a tool that allows modelling parametrically in Excel and then import such structure in the SCIA Engineer to finalize and analyze the model.
Sázava footbridge is a suspension steel footbridge with typical layout of 3 spans 22,5+60+22,5 m; total length 105 m. It is 2 m wide with pylons approximately 9 m high. The footbridge was constructed…
Heritage truss railway bridges with rivetted connections are the focus here. Different bridges share similar topology suitable for parametric design. The example modeled a bridge over Vltava in Tábor…
This project contains two composite railway bridges with steel double I cross-section. Bridges are located between cities Sudoměřice and Votice, Czech Republic, and are planned for construction in…
Troja footbridge was a slender suspension footbridge with internal system of suspension and prestressing cables. The footbridge was at the time of construction (1984) an innovative structural design.…
Special bridge project near Kralupy, Czech Republic, consists of 2 bridges (main bridge and ramp) that are connected on the 1st intermediate pier of the main bridge. The main bridge is a…
To extend the possibility of modelling and loading cylindrical structures, a tool for steel silos was developed for FEA software SCIA Engineer. The motivation and implementation is to extend and…
Software CTM 1.0 was developed to allow users efficient and fast input of shell structures into FEA software SCIA Engineer. The software covers input of 1D and 2D FEA elements including boundary…
