"The analysis of the roof lattice girder systems under various loading conditions including thermal movements and wind speeds was easily carried out using SuperSTRESS."

SuperLOAD
Bridge loading and analysis
Having set up your grid or space frame using the rapid data generation facilities of SuperSTRESS, H-LOAD allows you to define the deck, lanes and loading quickly and accurately. Trains of loads can be easily moved along the lanes at user defined intervals. A sophisticated generator then disperses the loads to the members, or joints if specified, of the underlying structure to produce SuperSTRESS loadcases.
The SuperLOAD suite is further enhanced for those engineers involved in multiple span bridge design with assessment by the inclusion of AutoLoader. this will accept influence surfaces generated using SS-SURF for a given location on a deck or sub-structure, and will then calculate the worst loading positions for the required effect. Both UK and International loading codes are addressed.
Finally, the SuperSTRESS grid analysis results can be processed by Wood-Armer to give reinforcement design moments in both primary and secondary directions for the provision of top and bottom steel.
The SuperLOAD modules are developd under our TickIT approved Quality Management System, which ensures will documented, well structured and reliable software.
