CAE PROGRAMSFocus on the model of the whole structure.

STRUCTURAL DEFECTSBut the majority of defects is caused by bad design of a particular joint or other detail.

Waste of time

Waste of material

Stress-strain Buckling Analysis Stiffness Analysis Overall Check

Stress-strain Buckling analysis Stiffness analysis Overall check

ELECTRICITY TOWER MAST – POLAND

Huge normal force loads the group of bolts eccentrically. Bolts cannot take this.

Rearranging of bolts solved the problem.

2020


STEEL WAREHOUSE – GERMANY

Connection fully satisfies all stress/strain checks

But the web of the beam can collapse because of local buckling

Additional stiffener resolved this problem

POWER PLANT – CZECH REPUBLIC

Ovalization of CHS. Stiffness perpendicular to CHS is weaker.

All CHS are welded to one plate. Stiffness is 10x higher.

HEATHROW AIRPORT – UK Connection was not designable with the suggested prescribed EC3 requirements and a more generic analysis approach had to be adopted.

“IDEA Connect werkt vlot en snel. Er is geen gebruiksvriendelijker alternatief voorhanden dat toelaat FEM met CBM te combineren.IDEA is gewoon degelijk en goed.”

Prof. Dr. Ir. Luc SchueremansEngineering Manager

4CREDIBILITY

26

Verification and validation of the new CBFEM method.

27

COMPONENT BASED FINITE ELEMENT MODEL (CBFEM)The weak point of standard Component method Design guides is that the topology is limited.

All standard connections from Eurocode / AISC design guides, calculated with the same results.

2929

Complex FEA analytical models were compared with IDEA. Same results.

VERIFICATION – COMPLEX TOPOLOGIESTailor-made design models created in various software.Live testing. All studies published.Two university teams spent over 3 years on this.

Marcel van Odenhoven

“Idea Connection is een zeer behulpzaam pakket voor het modelleren van een breed scala van verbindingen in staalconstructies. Het modelleren en interpreteren van de resultaten vraagt inzicht in de krachtswerking binnen een knoop en gaat gelijk op met de complexiteit van de verbinding.”
