Intergraph SmartPlan Foundation 2014 - A useful construction program for plant information management

Intergraph SmartPlan Foundation 2014 is a useful construction program for plant information management. MEP engineers can use this construction software to access updated and organized engineering information instantly all through the project lifecycle.

The MEP engineers can securely obtain various plant informations together engineering designs, vendor data, purchase orders, RFQs, specification sheets, and all supplementary documents.

A modular set of user experiences is created on the basis of regular work processes to assure that legitimate, reliable, and superior-quality engineering data is allocated over the value chain and amid facility information systems.

Throughout the complete plant lifecycle, the users get the ability to develop quick and perfect design and operational decisions out of big and complicated data sets. SmartPlant Foundation is supported with the Intergraph information management solutions and it is considered as the globally recognized and extensively applied, industry-standard, engineering information management solution for the process, power, and marine industries.

Some Useful Guidelines for Concrete Slab Design in Visual Analysis 9.0

Jon Lovgren, the Engineer at Beaudette Consulting Engineers, Inc., has presented a useful construction video that shows how to create the design of a concrete slab with Visual Analysis 9.0, a powerful software for structural engineers. Learn the detailed design procedures toward both manual and auto-meshed plates, together with the definitions of the input parameters and general hazards and drawbacks of the procedure.

Visual Analysis is a construction program ideal for structural analysis and member design of standard beams, columns, frames, trusses and building models. With Visual Analysis the structural engineers can get key solutions for big or unusual structures effortlessly and rapidly.

This construction software is used to examine both lateral and gravity loads in a single model.

Visual Analysis simplify the process for developing models with sketching, DXF import, copy & paste, parametric formation of general components (frames, tanks, walls, bracing, floor systems, etc.), import from spreadsheet or other tools, and BIM. Blend materials in your models: steel, wood, concrete, cold-formed and aluminum.

How to model a Reinforced Concrete Beam with Ansys Workbench

Ansys, a USA based Computer-aided engineering software developer, presents an exclusive construction tutorial on modeling a Reinforced Concrete Beam with ANSYS Workbench. ANSYS Workbench is the most recognized platform to resolve any issue associated with engineering field. Here static static structural analysis method is followed for the modeling purpose.

PLCRACK command is applied to demonstrate failed elements or cracked or crushed elements. Deformation of the Rebar can also be exported. This is a four point bending test of concrete.

How to create design & analysis of a simple structure with Orion 18

This is a useful construction video that shows how to use Orion V18 software to create the design of a basic structure. Orion is a construction program as well as structural engineering software from CSC (currently acquired by Tekla) that can be used for developing efficient structural design. The software can design simple or complicated reinforced concrete buildings. It performs analysis and design concerning valid structural elements like beams, columns, slabs and walls. It can also work with complex structures like multi-storey buildings There also exist a series of international codes along with British Standards and Eurocodes.

Orion 18.0 supports both 32 and 64-bit operating system.

Given below some of the exclusive features of Orion 18.0 :-

• Beams now designed for torsion
• Latest polyline column editor
• Batch FE beam load decomposition
• Latest column centreline modelling in Building Analysis

UQTO is one of the best quantity surveying softwares for Quantity Surveying Professionals

UQTO refers to an add-on toolbar available in Autocad (2010 to 2014). This quantity surveying software can simplify the Architectural, Civil and MEP quantity surveying process by performing the following functionalities accurately.

• Generates a unique group for all element types (Footings, Columns, Plastering, Paintings, etc…).

• Generates a unique code for all elements in each group and draws it on the drawing by auto counter.

• Produces a Tag/Dimension line for all elements to provide its code and desired quantity parameter (Length, Count, Area, etc…).

• Produces report for each group.

• Exports reports to Excel.

Some other important features :-

• All surveying data are saved within Autocad DWG file devoid of any special file types or other third party applications. No 3d party software program is needed to modify any surveying data that can be delivered and opened through a third party program.

• Produces perfect quantities spreadsheets instantly.

• Apply a professional system for coding and numbering all elements required for surveying.

• Get rid of copying the surveyed elements data manually as it is possible to export all data to excel with some mouse clicks.
