SMART Modeller ESA PT Quick Feature List
|
|
GENERAL - SMART Modeller ESA PT basic environment:
- Object-oriented: with a simple right-click of the mouse button you can modify, delete, copy, ...everything everywhere
- Well-structured property dialogs are used for fast viewing and editing of all object-properties
- New Parametric Modelling: geometry and loads
- Templates and user defined models: individual generators
- Automatic design of steel profiles and concrete reinforcement according to different codes
- Several languages are supported: English, Dutch, German, French, Czech, Slovak, Spanish

INPUT OF YOUR STRUCTURE - Modeller:
- Beams can be straight, curved, with haunches or completely arbitrary
- Flat or curved slabs with constant or variable thickness can have intersections with cut-outs, holes, sub regions with a different thickness or ribs
- The calculation model can be 2D and 3D with a perfect integration of beams and slabs
- A wide range of cross-sections is available in the standard profile library. It includes standard steel cross-sections (HEA, IPE, L, RHS, CHS, C, T, ...), concrete cross-sections, welded sections, thin-walled sections, pairs of sections, sheet welded sections, mixed sections, ...
- Load generators: water and snow accumulation, wind, ...
- Import and export of the model with DXF, DWG, VRML, PSS, IFC, DSTV, XML. More intelligent and bidirectional links are available for AllPlan (Nemetschek) and ProSteel (Kiwi Software)

CALCULATION:
- A wide variety of calculation types including linear, non-linear, dynamics and overall buckling analysis is available
- Linear analysis (1st order)
- Non-linear analysis (2nd order) with
- Initial deformation and curvature of the structure
- Beams with only-pressure, only-tension, limited pressure or limited tension
Gaps
- Non-linear springs in hinges and supports (soil)
- Cables
- Dynamic analysis
- Natural modes and frequencies
- Harmonic loads
- Seismic loads (earthquake analysis)
- Non-uniform damping
- Stability analysis
- Overall structure stability (structural buckling - linear and non-linear)
- Mobile loads
- Physical non-linear concrete deformations (time effect)
- Physical and geometrical non-linear concrete (internal forces)
- Time dependant analysis for (prestressed) concrete structures inclusive creep, stress history, shrinkage, ageing, long-term losses, relaxation and stress redistribution
- Construction stages (linear and non-linear)
|
|
RESULTS:
- A wide variety of results in beams and slabs can be viewed: deformations, internal forces, supports reactions, connections forces, internal stresses, contact stresses, foundation table
- Results can be viewed generally for the whole structure or detailed for a selection of elements The graphical representation of results is flexible and the user can choose between different possibilities

OUTPUT - The document:
- The user defines the layout of the document:
- Which tables should be printed
- The contents and layout of each table
- Which pictures, incl. size and location in the document
- Customizable front page, headers and footers
- The order: by load case, by element
- Picture gallery
- The document is intelligent: the tables with results are updated automatically when the input data is changed and the structure is recalculated
- Well-structured output can be obtained using the automatic paragraph numbering
- The user-defined layouts can be stored as a template so that they can be reused for other projects
- Active document: the user can change the project input data in the document. The project model will be adapted automatically, the structure can be recalculated and the document (results...) will be adapted accordingly
- The document can be exported into HTML, ASCII, RTF and PDF
