Migrating to a new software, even when we are somehow used to work with one already, could be quite challenging, specially for a so complex and delicate subject such as the analysis of structures.  As there is so many questions in matter of what the software could or not do, or even if using it in the first place is just a mistake.Sometimes this may be so distressing that will prevent many professional from looking for better more innovative and powerful tools, as they may feel safer using old fashion applications or even methods that kinda do the job.But believing...

If you are fond to ancient world engineering and the surprising achievements of the humanity such as the  Pyramid of Egypt, you will notice that the Pharaohs of the ancient empire  had to perform some failed attempts before they could build the Giza Pyramids Complex. After the famous engineer, architect and erudite Imhotep built the  stepped Saqqara pyramid, of seventy meters high, the precedent Pharaohs attempted the construction of next level pyramids. But the next attempt, the Medium pyramid, ended up collapsing under its own weight, while the next one, the Dahshir pyramid, had to suddenly change its angle, since...

In fact, Autodesk RSA is not a specif application for the designing of ground anchors.But their tools for evaluating ground loads can be extremely useful in the work of designing a ground anchors containment system. Knowing this thrust necessary before you can make the decision on which is the most appropriate containment system and make the decision between shoot crate walls, steel mesh reinforcement, solider beam and lagging or a big reinforcement concrete containment wall. In this document, we will make a comparison between the land loads thrown by Autodesk Robot Structural analysis and those obtained by the diagram of...

The greatest concern during the foundation works, are the failures that may occur at the walls of excavations. Nonetheless, there's is another concern we should pay attention to and that happens at the bottom of the excavation. This is a real danger on soils composed by plastic saturated clay. Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional is a powerful  tool to plan and analyze this type of excavation failures. This failure happens during the extraction of the soil, or material, from an excavation, causing the soil to rise or bulge. This failure in the terrain is present on soils composed of soft...

We all have heard of Autodesk Revit Structure and its capabilities for the generation not only of analytical models but the actual detail of section, beams, columns and connections of all kind, from those between hot and cold-rolled profiles to the one of anchorages in the foundations of a full building structure.   So what is the deal with Advance Steel? And how is it different from Revit Structure? Well let's begin by saying that for whatever process you can thing of, there's always a more efficient way to do it! That in essence is Advance Steel...But let get a...
