Modern methods of design: categorising computational design methods

This month's report highlights the importance of varied quality assurance when using structural design and analysis software after a reporter found a steel section with erroneous data in the software's database.

Join an informal evening of candid conversations exploring the ideas, innovations and challenges shaping the future of structural engineering, followed by a festive mulled wine reception.

This CPD module, sponsored by Oasys, examines the use of nonlinear analyses, which are set to become a central option in the design workflow under the second generation of Eurocodes. It explores common misunderstandings, ways that nonlinear analysis differs from linear, and special considerations needed to get the right answers.
