Calculation of building structures
Calculation of building structures
APM Civil Engineering has extensive functionality for creating structural models, performing the necessary calculations and visualizing the results. Using these capabilities will reduce design time and reduce the material consumption of a construction project, as well as reduce the cost of design work and construction in general.
APM Civil Engineering fully takes into account the requirements of state standards and building codes related to both the preparation of design documentation and calculation algorithms.
The calculation and graphical tools available in the APM Civil Engineering system allow you to solve a wide range of problems:
- design metal structures of any type under various types of loading and fastening with the ability to automatically select cross sections (check the load-bearing capacity according to SNiP) and generate drawings of typical components of metal structures;
- perform the entire complex of necessary calculations of reinforced concrete structures with automatic selection of reinforcement parameters according to the limit states of the first and second groups in accordance with SP;
- design wooden structures, including the selection of metal toothed plates and dowels at the joints of the beams, as well as obtain cutting diagrams for all structural elements;
- perform calculations of single, strip and solid reinforced concrete foundations;
- determine parameters of bolted and welded connections;
- create design documentation;
- use supplied databases of standard parts and elements of building structures, materials and sections when designing, as well as create your own databases for specific tasks;
- create project databases, including design documents, calculation models, drawings, etc.
This product is offered in two configurations:
- ST - the dimension of the problems being solved does not exceed 1.5 million degrees of freedom;
- XE - there are no restrictions on the size of the tasks being solved (the actual size is limited by the amount of PC RAM).
Based on the type of structures designed in the software, APM Civil Engineering can also be divided into the following configurations:
- Steel - Calculation and design of metal structures;
- Steel-Concrete - Calculation and design of metal, reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures with the ability to calculate foundations;
- Steel-Concrete-Wood - Calculation and design of metal, reinforced concrete, reinforced stone and wooden structures with the ability to calculate foundations;
In addition, in addition to the basic capabilities of the product, additional functionality (options) is available :
- Composite : calculation of structures made of composite materials;
- Fracture : destruction mechanics;
- Fatigue : endurance calculation;
- Pipe : calculation of pipeline elements;
- TopOpt : topology optimization.
The APM Civil Engineering product is registered in the Register of Russian Computer Programs and Databases.
