Wat leert u tijdens dit IDEA Steel Connect 7 release show?
Wij gaan dieper in op de nieuwe mogelijkheden van release 7.0 en 7.1 vab IDEA Steel Connection rekensoftware voor het ontwerpen en controleren van staalverbindingen volgens de Eurocode 3.
De unieke CBFEM methode van IDEA Connection stelt de gebruiker in staat om willekeurige verbindingen - van zeer eenvoudig tot uitertst complex - te controleren volgens de Eurocode 3 en de Amerikaanse norm. Idea Connection kan worden gebruikt als een op zich zelf staand programma of gelinkt aan uw bestaande reken- en tekensoftware.
Graag nodigen wij u persoonlijk uit om verder kennis te maken met IDEA Connection versie 7.1. in Genk (wo. 23 november 9u-12u) of in Kortrijk (wo. 23 november 16u-19u).

ELECTRICITY TOWER MAST – POLAND
Huge normal force loads the
group of bolts eccentrically.
Bolts cannot take this.
Rearranging of bolts solved the
problem.

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.”

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.”
46. Tool needs to…
Allow efficient workflows through interoperability
Be simple to learn and use
Be fully supported by codes and validated theory
Be used for concept through to detailed design

This Slide shows the process used by the BIM modellers and the structural engineers – This workflow is for the node design, there were other used for the main super structure, north core and floor plate design.
Initially we modelled the nodes as “crashing plates”, then from the Tekla model (.stp file) was generated and imported into Rhino to clean up the volumes and into the meshing software ANSA, creating simple finite element models with which we could study the structural behaviour in more detail.
At the same time the loads from the structural analysis were being processed using excel in order to identify the critical load combinations.
The analysis itself was then carried out using Nastran and was supported by tools we developed in-house.
D3 plot facilitates the search for high stress concentrations by enabling the user to cut sections through the analysis results in real time. We also wrote some Excel visual basic routines which calculated the stresses in the welds.
Once the design was completed the data was fed back to the BIM modellers and incorporated.
Arup fully designed the nodes at lower levels prior to tender, in order to give confidence to the contractors when they were pricing the job. For these final design checks we used a similar process to that employed during scheme design, but with some more sophisticated analysis tools.
There are over 100 mega frame nodes on the project, some similarities between various nodes but Arup is still responsible for around 40 individual nodes.
As you can imagine this process mean close collaboration with the structural engineer, architect and later in the process the fabricator to develop the details in a way which ensured that they were buildable and yet also met the architectural intent.
