COMPLEX GEOMETRY and MESHING, P-DELTA, VIBRATION, NON-LINEAR ANALYSIS (G103)
Advanced S-FRAME Analysis (G103) builds on the fundamentals presented in Introduction to S-FRAME Analysis Part I, to cover additional advanced features and topics. We will explain complex geometry modeling, 2D analysis objects and S-FRAME's powerful meshing tools. You will apply moving loads, and learn how and when to run different advanced analyses such as P-Delta, Non-Linear, and Vibration Analysis. This course also demonstrates how to use built in BIM links to transfer model data between S-FRAME and Revit™, Tekla™ or DXF files.
Class Dates : September 18 - 20, 2018
Class Times : 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon Pacific Daylight Time
By the end of this class, you will have learned how to create more geometrically complex models and how to import and export modeling data using the BIM and CAD links. You will become more familiar with running and interpreting the results from different advanced analysis, including P-Delta, Non-Linear and Vibration analysis, as well as how to generate detailed reports.
The course is delivered in two live 2-hour lectures over a period of 3 days
Includes graded Assignments and Final exam (you will receive a score report for your records)
Certificate of mastery will be provided to attendees that achieve a final score above 75% and Educational Units will go towards an S-FRAME certification
Earn PDH (Professional Development Credits) for attendance
