The plastic shell model is a non-linear analysis method in FEM-Design that ensures more realistic behaviour of steel and concrete structures, offering increased safety and material savings. Find out more in our FAQ. ✅ You’ll get answers to the following questions: 1. When can I apply this model? 2. Can it handle out-of plane loading? 3. Does it capture plastic deformation capacity? 4. Can I check a slab with only one layer of reinforcement? 5. Does it handle cracks? 6. Is this model verified? 7. Is this method supported by Eurocode? Read the FAQ here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dykKX8K6 P.S. Did you know? With FEM-Design’s elasto-plastic method for computing 3D shells of reinforced concrete and structural steel, you get an accurate and realistic structural analysis that gives you up to 30% reduction in material without compromising safety. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions. We’d be happy to help you see how you can take advantage of the plastic analysis module in your projects. #StruSoft #FEMDesign #structuralengineering #structuralanalysis #plasticanalysis

As a structural engineer, using familiar tools might feel safe, but it can also slow you down and keep you stuck in the comfort zone. Change can feel risky, but the right change can make your work faster, easier, and more efficient. In this free webinar, Ciprian Tibea will show you how switching to FEM-Design can streamline your workflow and significantly boost productivity. This session empowers new users and offers experienced engineers practical insights into applying FEM-Design in real projects. You'll discover: - Modelling from zero - Load definitions and combinations - Beam and column design - A brief look at documentation and IFC import Experience a direct, practical demo of FEM-Design in real-world scenarios: clear, actionable, and results-driven.

We hope to see you there! :) #StruSoft #FEMDesign #structuralengineering #structuralanalysis #finiteelementanalysis

Did you know? FEM‑Design 25 introduces a set of practical improvements to the Parametric Model module to help structural engineers work more efficiently with parameterised templates in 3D Structure projects. In this video, Victor Sandahl does a walkthrough of the new capabilities: - Autogrid automation for detecting repetitive structural patterns and generating parameterised grid systems - Expanded parameterisable regions and solids, including non‑structural objects - Parametric solid templates for defining isolated foundation geometries - Parameterised region templates for creating bar cross‑sections - A new Radius constraint for more flexible geometric parametrisation - An improved Input Wizard with better selection tools and support for custom template folders Start with this overview if you want to reduce repetitive modelling work and improve template‑based workflows.

Welcome to StruSoft, Tobias Asmussen! He has joined our office in Aarhus, Denmark, as a Customer Success Engineer. We’re happy to have him on board. 😊 Tobias has 4 years of experience as a structural engineer, working extensively with prefabricated concrete elements at a consulting firm in Denmark. His mission at StruSoft is clear: to help our customers solve real-world challenges using our structural software. Outside of work, he likes playing soccer and doing CrossFit. #StruSoft

What if creating a design script in Simplex Foundation could start with a simple prompt? In this video, we demonstrate how a user can ask a GPT to generate a Python file to run a design in Simplex Foundation. It is a practical example of how AI can help users get to a working script faster and make technical tools easier to use. Why this is interesting: ✅natural language becomes a starting point for scripting ✅users spend less time figuring out how to begin ✅Python-based workflows become more accessible ✅the path from idea to execution gets shorter A simple but powerful example of how AI can support real engineering workflows. Well done, Marco Pellegrino. #SimplexFoundation #AI #PythonAutomation #Engineering #DigitalEngineering

🔔 Don’t miss your chance to join our free webinar on parametric structures. Spots are still available! FE models take time, and that time is valuable. By using parametric design, you can automate repetitive modelling tasks, boost productivity, and focus on the engineering work that truly matters. In this 45‑minute session, our expert, Joni Hytönen, will walk you through: ✅ The basics of the parametric model ✅ What’s possible (and what’s not) with parametric structures ✅ Smart modelling strategies that actually work ✅ Practical examples you can apply immediately ✅ How small automation steps can lead to real cost savings Participants will also receive free example models after the session to support further learning and experimentation. If you’re a steel or concrete designer, bridge engineer, or working with repetitive structural elements of any kind, this is for you. Register here and we’ll see you tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/dyvwgKGU #StruSoft #FEMDesign #structuralengineering #structuralanalysis #parametricdesign

Happy Easter from StruSoft! As we welcome the spring season, we’d like to take a moment to send warm wishes to everyone, especially to those who are celebrating Easter this weekend. 🙂 May this time bring you renewed energy, fresh inspiration, and moments of joy with your loved ones. ✨

In this edition of “The Structural Edge” newsletter, we’re highlighting a support article about the local coordinate system for reinforcement in FEM-Design & our upcoming webinar on how to best use parametric design. #StruSoft #FEMDesign #structuralengineering #structuralanalysis #finiteelementanalysis
