A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
Tutorial 4 of a 13-part tutorial series explains how to layout timber members, in this case columns to the model. Using S-TIMBER grids, columns can be defined, then cloned for one or all floors.
S-TIMBER's grid system helps to define the model and specify unit preferences. This video shows how to set up and define a grid system. There are multiple ways to define a grid system. This tutorial shows: * grid elevation * grid spacing * grid steps * snap points * regular or irregular grids
This tutorial introduces the S-TIMBER interface, window layouts, and menu system. We show: * S-TIMBER views: Object, Frame, FEA, Physical Element * Controlling the view with zoom, pan, etc. * Timber element tools (beams, columns, panels) * Grids, dimensions * Folder view * Solver output view * Design input view * Selecting…
Many a times, solving a model over a wide frequency range in a single simulation is an overkill of the computational resources as the mesh generated for the highest frequency is used at all the lower frequencies. One could also sometimes benefit by switching to a different solver (like MLFMM) for the higher frequencies,…
Join us for a short, yet detailed tutorial on designing latticed steel transmission structures using Altair S-FRAME, following the provisions outlined in ASCE 10-15. In this quick and informative video, we'll walk through the steps to take after performing your structural analysis to produce a detailed design code check.…
In this comprehensive tutorial, discover how to utilize S-FRAME to design Fixed Offshore Platforms according to the API RP 2A - WSD 22 design code provisions. Dive into the world of offshore engineering as we explore the powerful capabilities of S-FRAME for structural analysis and design. Follow step-by-step demonstrations…
S-TIMBER tutorial #9 demonstrations how to apply loads to the timber frame model: * load cases * load combinations * automatic load combination generation
S-TIMBER tutorial #13, the last in a timber design tutorial series, explains how to generate engineering design reports for a timber code check.
S-TIMBER tutorial #12 describes how to perform a design code-validation check and view the results.
S-TIMBER tutorial #11 demonstrates how to examine the structural analysis results using the post-processing tools available in S-TIMBER.
