About

The Braceworks® add-on module for Vectorworks Spotlight provides design, production, and rigging professionals with an easy way to gauge the performance of temporary structures under load. This one-of-a-kind module helps ensure safety and compliance with engineering codes and standards, creating a completely integrated modeling, analysis, and documentation process in one interface. Regulatory requirements, such as the Eurocodes, and increasing requirements from venues, municipalities, and building owners, are making it necessary for event design, A/V, and rigging companies to produce load and structure calculations for sign off by structural engineers. Conduct static analyses and FEM analysis with results that display graphically on the model for easy reference. Automatically generate detailed calculation reports.

About

SCIA Engineer is an integrated, multi-material structural analysis software and design tool for all kinds of structures. Its wide range of functionality makes it the ideal partner for the design of office buildings, industrial plants, bridges or any other project, all within the same easy-to-use environment. Powerful CAD-like modeling, advanced types of calculation, code-compliant multi-material design and customizable reports. Typical situations can be automated with built-in or user-defined parametric templates for various geometries and powerful load generation tools. SCIA Engineer provides the most comprehensive implementation of Eurocodes, including National Annexes, U.S. codes and other international standards. Seamless exchange of models with other project stakeholders, through the powerful bi-directional links with Allplan, Revit and Tekla Structures, Open BIM's IFC or third-party plug-ins.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Technical report is practical and nicely designed. It can be arranged pretty fast. Deflection output is well presented.

Cons

  • For modelling of complex structures you need at least a year of practice. Output results are often misleading and disproportional. This is often the case for flat slab design in which i need always to use a second program for checking. Seismic design according to EC8 is inexistent.
