3D Structural Modelling

The latest finite element software is used for the design and analysis of the structures. 3-D finite element software performs complex non-linear analyses. This includes the ability to describe all materials, to consider geometric non-linearities, perform a static/dynamic analysis and/or to have the ability to combine the soil and the structure in one calculation.

In addition several pre- and post-processing programmes have been developed to create and evaluate Finite Element Models and the specific loadings. This has been done to such an extent that for standard analysis situations the process is fully automated thus creating an efficient workflow whilst reducing the risk of human error.

Alternative tools can be used for designs including in-house prepared tools and software.
