Understanding Geometric Stiffness in Tensioned Beam Models
Replacing a tension cable with a coupling can remove geometric stiffness, triggering negative stiffness warnings and instability in ASE.
Life Cycle Assessment Task
As the construction industry continues to grapple with the urgent need for more sustainable practices, tools like life cycle assessment (LCA) have become increasingly crucial. SOFiSTiK, a leading structural analysis and design software, has recognised this importance and introduced the LCA Task in its 2025 release. In this comprehensive blog…
