Incremental Launching – Principles and Workflow
Incremental launching seems to be a process of endless construction stages and a huge amount of results to handle. Learn how it can be done most efficiently in SOFiSTiK FEA.
Tendon Geometry – Refer to a Cross-Section Point
Aligning tendons along a parameterised cross-section can be difficult. Learn how to use a geometric point within a cross-section as a reference for defining the tendon geometry.
Basics of Modelling a Parametric Beam Bridge
Start with a simple beam bridge to get familiar with parametric bridge design in SOFiPLUS.
Beam Bridge Basics – Tendons, Construction Stages and Design
Create tendons, define construction stages and perform the design of a beam bridge.
2D Slab Design
The first attempt at using new software can be a challenge. Dealing with applications to cover complex topics such as analysis and design of structures doesn’t make it easier.
Overview of Relevant Modules
After doing the first steps using SOFiSTiK FEA – you will undoubtedly come to the point of asking yourself about the performed modules. Find an overview and explanation of the most relevant and used modules.
System Information Dialog Box
When starting a new project with SOFiSTiK FEA, the “SOFiSTiK System Information” dialog box is the first thing you need to go through. This post will focus on the different sections and options.
Applications, Modules and Workflow Scheme
SOFiSTiK is a modular software but based on a central database (*.CDB). The modules can be accessed with provided Graphic User Interfaces, as well using text input.
Group Divisor and Factor Group Base
Learn more about how the group divisor and factor group base affect the element numbers.
