FLAC is a two-dimensional explicit finite difference program for engineering mechanics computation. This program simulates the behavior of structures built of soil, rock or other materials that may undergo plastic flow when their yield limits are reached. Materials are represented by elements, or zones, which form a grid that is adjusted by the user to fit the shape of the object to be modeled. Each element behaves according to a prescribed linear or nonlinear stress/strain law in response to the applied forces or boundary restraints. The material can yield and flow, and the grid can deform (in large-strain mode) and move with the material that is represented. The explicit, Lagrangian calculation scheme and the mixed-discretization zoning technique used in FLAC...

Computers and Structures, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of CSiXRevit, a link that allows for data exchange between ETABS® v9.7.3/SAP2000 v15.1.0/1 and Autodesk Revit® Structure 2013. CSiXRevit supports true round-tripping, specifically – four different workflows of data interchange: Exporting from Revit Structure to create a new ETABS/SAP2000 model Exporting from Revit Structure to update an existing ETABS model Importing from ETABS/SAP2000 to create a new Revit Structure model Importing from ETABS to update an existing Revit Structure model. The CSiXRevit link is a powerful integration tool, allowing you to maximize the capabilities of ETABS/SAP2000 and Revit® Structure 2013. CSiXRevit supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Revit® Structure 2013. CSiXRevit for Revit® Structure 2013 is only compatible with...

PERFORM-3D V5 Enhancements Subscribe RSS A 64-bit version of the analysis engine is now utilized when Peform-3D is installed on a 64 bit computer. The 32-bit analysis engine is still used on 32-bit computers. The 64-bit engine allows larger problems to be solved, and tends to run faster than the 32-bit engine. A large-capacity eigenvalue routine has been added. In earlier versions, the eigenvalue routine could not accommodate structures with very large numbers of mass points. The new eigenvalue routine (the same as in SAP2000) allows a larger number of mass points than was previously possible. Warnings are now provided when an unstable or ill-conditioned stiffness matrix is detected. When an analysis model is set up for a complex structure,...

STAAD Foundation Advanced is a comprehensive foundation design program that offers the ability to model complex or simple footings, including those specific to Plant facilities such as octagonal footings supporting vertical vessels, strap beam foundations supporting horizontal vessels, ring foundations supporting tank structures, and drilled or driven pier foundations. Common foundations such as isolated footings, combined footings, strip footings, pile caps, and mat foundations can also be designed for larger structures or using parametric wizards. It provides a streamlined workflow through its integration with STAAD.Pro and can also be used as a stand-alone program. Efficient design and documentation is realized through its plant-specific design tools, multiple design codes with U.S. and metric bar sizes, design optimization, and automatic drawing generation....

Stability of slopes according to Krey-Bishop / DIN 4084 The program makes it possible to compute slope failure mechanisms due to DIN 4084. The proofs demanded therein are performed for general soil-structure systems, which may include an arbitrary number of various elements and supporting components, e.g. anchors, nails, piles, loads, soil layers, construction stages etc. FIDES SlipCircle is compatible and uses the same data with other programs of the FIDES Geotechnics series.Product:FIDES.SlipCircle.v2012.177 Lanaguage:english Platform:Winxp/Win7 Size:1CD

SpheriStat is an easy-to-use utility for entering structural field measurements (either axial/non-directed or polar/vector) in tabular form and plotting them in a variety of ways: on a stereonet (with either Schmidt equal area or Wulff equal angle projection), on a map using our structural symbol set, or on a circular (rose) diagram. Each plotting method offers one or more analytical tools to extract more information from your data.Product:Pangaea Scientific SpheriStat v3.0 Lanaguage:english Platform:Winxp/Win7 Size:6.7 MB

String-based Modeling for Road and Highway Design, Rehabilitation, and Renewal Bentley MXROAD Suite combines all of the power of MXROAD (an advanced, string-based modeling tool for new design of all road types) together with PowerSurvey (an all-in-one, standalone survey solution), MXRENEW (a complimentary solution that fits new design onto existing roads for rehabilitation and reconstruction), and MXURBAN (parametric design software for roads in cities and urban areas). MXROAD Suite includes the ability to quickly create new design alternatives for any type of scheme in order to achieve the ideal road system. Upon selection of the final design alternative, MXROAD Suite automates much of the design detailing process, saving you time and money.Bentley MXROAD FeaturesAt its core, MXROAD uses 3D string...
