CAD of Civil Engineering Structures 2

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Steel and Timber Structures

Synopsis:

Advanced graphis modelling and structural

analysis of 3D structures. The used tool is Microstation

program and ANSYS program. Models of structural details made

from Microstation environment are transferred into the FEM

packeges, especially into the ANSYS program. Basis of the

approach to the ANSYS program,basic commands, static and

dynamic solution, Geometrically and materially non-linear

solution of the particular problems. Preferability of steel

structural details.The evaluation of stresses and the

applications of results with respect of valid codes for steel

structural design.

Requirements:
