Projects
Overview of some of the delivered software
The following projects are meant as examples of what can be done and is not an exhaustive list.
Project: Design, itemisation and costing
This software allow the auto-generation of temporary roof systems based on given specifications. Specifications include space, construction method, consideration of loading, etc. It outputs a virtual 3D model and list of items required (from bolts to roof sections) allowing immediate costing and weight calculation (using a database) and the issuing of quotation and the determination of delivery requirement.
Project: BIM Revit™ analysis and design
A plug-in for AutoDesk Revit™ to extract BIM model features and operate on them. A Plug-in can be developed to provide custom operations on the BIM models including analyses (cost, sensitivity, etc.) and design (compliance with performance) functions as well as automating model editing and generation.
Project: Design to British and European standards
This software allow for the creation of structural engineering models, the application of loads, and the checking for compliance with specific design standards and the output of engineering reports ready for verification.
Other projects
The example projects are meant to provide a glimpse of what can be done. Other projects have been carried out but space does not allow to list all here. On request, sample software can be provided for inspection given a project has been planned.
Demonstrations
Two experimental web apps, links below, demonstrate 3D modelling using WebGl (with virtual reality capabilities), design calculations, itemizations and reporting This can be extended with user login with authentication and cloud-based database storing. The software is developed using C# and .Net.
Please note that these are provided for demonstartion only and may not be used for actual industry projects.
Web App Demo: Design of steel building
The app allows the auto-generation of a 3D steel building complete with connections and bracing. It designs the beams and columns and itemize the material list.
N.B.: for demonstration purposes only - does not design the connections or connections or consider all the applied loads (BUT can be made to!)
Web App Demo: Specification of scaffolds
The app allows the auto-generation of a building scaffold system on all sides. It itemize the list of scaffold pipes needed.
N.B.: for demonstration purposes only; does not use the standard layout and geometry (BUT can be made to!).
