LUSAS
Anything you can draw, LUSAS can model. Use the substantial CAD-style capabilities within LUSAS, or import your geometry from other systems.
Idealise your structure using appropriate elements and mesh configurations to suit the needs of your project.
Model other structures in your project, connected to your bridge or not.
Model soil-structure interaction to any level from simple springs to active-passive boundaries to full soil continuums.
Any structure. One solution.
Use one of the useful structural wizards to build your model quickly, then develop it further to meet your needs.
Connect with other processes such as Grasshopper to parametrically model your structure and pass the information to LUSAS for solution.
Get a better understanding of the design process. Reveal every step, every clause reference, and every formula. Say goodbye to “black-box” approaches that hide the calculations and make checking more difficult for you.
Our comprehensive design-checking facilities for RC frames, RC slabs / walls and structural steel now cover codes for buildings and bridges, for North America, Europe and UK, India, China and Australasia.
Easily assign different structural components to specific time stages.. Follow construction sequences via Gannt charts. Edit to project requirements.
Model behaviour in full 4D, as deformations, stresses and cracking or yielding develop with time.
Make better assessments of existing concrete structures and better predictions for concrete placed quickly or adjacent to existing material.
Assess cracking, crushing, creep, shrinkage and hygro-thermal effects working to – and beyond the scope of – international Codes of Practice.
Present understandable and complete information for your checker. Deliver any format: doc, pdf, xls…
Modify the model and the results and report will change – no problem. Generate an updated report again with a few clicks.
Evaluate different options with multiple and branched analyses and report on them all. Save the report template or share it, to standardise output across your teams or offices.
