I was going through this forum and learned that there are many structural engineers here saying that Mindlin's Plate theory is outdated, not accurate for the analysis of laminated glass. I've seen that SJ Mepla uses this theory to predict the behavior. I was wondering what are the issues or...
Our consultant is asking to consider 25 mm building sway in the calculation of facades attached to it. HOw would you simulate this sway in your FEM program(I use SAP2000)
Hello Guys,
I have a bracket with a hole and when I perform FEM analysis i get stress concentration around the hole. My question is can I use plastic stress field around the hole? And if i'm using plastic stress , to which value I will compare ? Do we have a code or standard reference stating...
Dear Engineers,
I want to know when we will use cold bended glass vs hot bended glass. What is the advantage of cold bended glass?.
Also I wish to know what are the structural parameters to look for when we are analyzing a Cold bended or hot bended glass?
Thanks in advance.
Dear Engineers/Scientists,
When you design the double skin ventilated facade system, what all loads are coming on the interior glass?
Does the 'chimney effect' takes place in the internal glass panel? or the wind load will be negligible only? How do you arrive at exact wind load on the internal...

Dear Engineers,
A question to facade engineers/curtain wall specialists.
I’m curious to know about the system design. Can someone here through some light on mullion system design.
How you design a new profile. What all criteria you check while designing?
What checks you do for the new designed...
Hello there,
I wish to take a short open course in Lightweight structures. On searching the edx,coursera etc I couldn't find any such courses under structural engineering or civil engineering. So alternatively i was thinking to take some courses in aeronautical engineering category. As I'm...
Thanks for the reply guys. @ Erik say for example, I have a finite element model of a steel bracket with 4 anchor bolts and I need to play with the anchor bolt spacing so that I need to get a minimum stress. So if i do it manually it is too much time-consuming.
Is there a way that i can write a...
Hello Engineers and scientists.
I'm working in Facade industry. I was using staad pro for my analysis and recently I'm planning to change to strand7.
So can any one answer me how we can integrate strand7 with python programming and extract the most juice out of strand7 using python.
Also is...

Currently im working on a project regarding sloshing.i wand to give x force to the tank and take the response of sloshing for 10 seconds. Currently im
Getting the output only for 1.2 seconds.which parameter in my Dat file I should change in order to get output for 10 seconds?
Thanks GregLocock for the replay!
Im doing masters in Structural engineering and final year thesis in aerospace engineering (using CFD,ALE coupling) now only I fell In love with finite element methods. Could you please suggest me some pdf/ebooks to start fem programming using matlab,For beginner.
Hii all
Im new to this forum. I have certain doubts regarding fem.
1.Why scientists use programming in fem using fortran/phython/matlab when we are having advanced softwares?
2.what is explicit finite element and extended fem?
