New StruBIM Suite programs

IFC BUILDER

Creation and maintenance of building IFC models. This application is integrated in the OPEN BIM workflow via the IFC4 standard.

Features:

• Graphic user interface (GUI) to introduce columns and flat slabs
• Import of DXF/DWG/JPG/BMP files
• Open BIM edges generation
• Open BIM (IFC4) modelling

StruBIM Analysis 3D

StruBIM Analysis 3D is a tool created to generate, edit and design an analysis model that has been developed based on a structural model.

The analysis of the acting loads is carried out using a 3D spatial analysis applying stiffness matrix methods.

The structural model can be imported using an IFC format file, generated using CYPE’s IFC Builder, other BIM modelling programs or an XML format file.

The analysis model is generated based on the imported structural model, and the structure is discretised into bar-type elements, nodes and shells composed of finite elements (FEM). Users can adjust the model by defining or editing:

• Loadcases
• Values of loads acting on elements.
• Wind loads that are generated automatically in accordance with ASCE 7-10
• Diaphragms
• Boundary conditions
• Section and material properties
• Shell discretisation sizes
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Once the analysis has been completed, users can consult:

• Displacements and reactions
  
• Force and displacement diagrams
  
• Contour maps for forces and displacements
  
  

The analysis model and its results are exported to StruBIM Design.

StruBIM Design

StruBIM Design is a tool which designs, checks and edits reinforced concrete and steel structural elements, based on a structural model and a calculated analysis model.

The structural model can be imported using an IFC format file that has been generated using CYPE’s IFC Builder, other BIM modelling programs or an XML format file. The calculated analysis model is imported from StruBIM Analysis 3D or from the XML file if it contains the necessary information.

StruBIM Design designs and checks structural elements (columns, beams, floor slabs and walls) and provides the technical drawings in accordance with the requirements of the project (Record Engineer).

The reinforcement of the following reinforced concrete elements is designed and checked in accordance with the requirements of ACI 318-14, ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-08:

• Rectangular or circular-section columns
• Rectangular-section beams
• Flat slabs
• Walls
  
  

Steel elements are designed and checked in accordance with ANSI/AISC 360-10.

Design results for reinforced concrete elements (sections and reinforcement) and steel elements (sections) can be edited, and then checked.

Design results can be directly transferred to technical drawings of the various elements: columns, beams, slabs and walls, in accordance with representation requirements and project contents (Record Engineer):

• Column schedule
• Beam schedule
• Slab reinforcement drawings
• Wall schedule
