AISC/ACI-EuroCodes Check & Design V6

About

CivilFEM application allows the user to check and design their ANSYS® Workbench™ models using the European EC3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005) and EC2 (EN 1992-1-1:2004/AC2008) international construction standards for beams and shells, both Steel and Reinforced Concrete, the American Codes AISC ASD/LRDF 14th Edition and ACI 318-14 international construction standards for beams and shells, both Steel and Reinforced Concrete and the American Nuclear Code ACI 349-13, the international construction standards for beams and shells, both Steel and Reinforced Concrete.

Note: It supports versions of Ansys 2019 R1 onwards and has been tested on Windows 10.

It is completely integrated into ANSYS interface, being able to come out the check and design application as if it were a new type of analysis.

Thus, checking and design steel or concrete materials will be possible, not only for steel and concrete beams but also for concrete shells.

When CivilFEM ACT extension is active, the CivilFEM´s ribbon will be displayed on the mechanical interface. This will be a basic to carry out properly both materials and structural elements in order to perform a check or design process.

Therefore, the user can take advantage of the great library data bases both regarding code materials and steel beam sections, among a large number of type of checking and design verifications.

In addition, when solving a group of load cases, it is possible to stablish different load combinations. The Data Set menu will contain those load cases to check.

On the other hand, the Combination option allows the user to define different load states combinations. CivilFEM ACT gives the choice of performing this either by user combinations or by code combinations.

In the combinations by user option, you can create the specific load state combinations you require.

In the combinations by code option, the user can define all those combinations regarding the code he selects. CivilFEM ACT provides different codes for combination: Eurocode, ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-10.

When CivilFEM combinations are solved, those will be printed in the Output.

Then users can create the result for check and design that will be done for all the structural elements created and the load cases defined in the combinations.

Benefits of using the CivilFEM for ANSYS ACT.

• Quick checking and design of your civil structures.
• The interface is completely integrated into the ANSYS Workbench interface, so it is a really easygoing tool.
• The user will dispose of a large library database of code materials and beams sections
• Materials and sections code properties may be submitted to any change as it happens in the checking process.
• Possibility of carrying out any type of combination between the different solved load steps.

This application is directly targeted to construction engineers aimed to check their structures capabilities.
