Reinforced Dimensioning

Concrete Dimensioning

The "design template" concept allows for the grouping of elements by their design properties, concrete quality, cracking hypothesis, concrete cover, etc.

• Calculation of theoretical reinforcement sections of linear and planar elements,
• Obtainment of the theoretical reinforcement ratios,
• Global design reports include the "concrete" results.

Steel Dimensioning

• The "design template" concept allows for the grouping of elements by their design properties: buckling hypothesis, lateral buckling restraints, deflections verification, etc.,
• Shapes optimisation starting from a predefined shaped library and using an automated calculation cycle: FE calculations and successive optimisations,
• Shape sheets,
• Global design reports include the "steel" results.

Result Memory Technology; how does it work?

When a graphical view is stored in memory, Advance Design not only saves the current image, but also the context that generated this image: view angle, zoom, filter of displayed elements, colours and display characteristics, nature of results (iso-values of displacements, values of theoretical reinforcement, magnified stresses), load cases, units, etc. The views saved, using this technology, may be inserted in a design report, whose global content (current hypotheses, results, graphical views) may also be stored in memory. During each calculation iteration, Advance Design automatically recreates all the graphical views and rewrites the design report using the specified criteria.
