COLD ROLLED STEEL STRUCTURES DESIGN BUILD ENGINEERING
Design Documents for BIM
Vertex generates the following for BIM Management
- 2D Floor Plans
- 3D Framing Model
- 3D Architectural Model
- Frame Elevation Drawings
- Bill of Materials for all Building Components including steel framing, interior boarding, insulation, facade cladding materials, window & door schedules, fixing quantities
- IFC Model, Manufacturing Information
- Eurocode 1993 parts 1-3
FEA Tools for General Engineering
- Vertex FEA works with any profile structures and gives the user control of the finite element method, nodes, elements, supports and loads.
- Vertex FEA creates linear static analyses for parts, assemblies and frames, the result of the analysis returns stresses, deformation and support reactions.
- FEA analysis stores loads and analysis parameters in the Vertex model and the model can then be re-analysed easily after geometrical changes have been made.
- An analysis report can also be created for the model when complete.
- Capacity checking is available for lipped C-sections in the following cold formed building codes:
- – AS/NZS 4600-2005 | Eurocode 1993-1-3
