Industry CPD: Accuracy and precision in finite-element analysis

This CPD module, sponsored by SCIA, explores the productivity benefits that structural engineers could gain by adopting a parametric approach to design.

This CPD module, sponsored by IDEA StatiCa UK, introduces CBFEM, a method to analyse and design connections of steel structures, which is a synergy of the standard approach to connection design (component method) and finite elements.

Connection design and structural analysis simplified in a seamless workflow: design in SDS2, verify in SCIA and make use of the bi-directional link.
