 LUSAS
for Structural and Bridge Applications (Introduction Day)
24 June 2014 |
|
This training day is for engineers with little or no prior knowledge of LUSAS
or for those wanting to refresh their knowledge of carrying out
linear static and linear buckling analysis for structural and bridge
applications. The course covers getting started with LUSAS and then
proceeds to cover in detail the modelling and analysis options
available for creating beam models, modelling flat slabs and composite
construction. Day
1: Introduction to
structural and bridge
application modelling with LUSAS  With
a focus on the new facilities and features in the newly released
Version 15 of LUSAS, the topics
covered will include:
- About
LUSAS: finite element analysis, geometry, attributes, the LUSAS
treeview, section property calculators, viewing results,
documentation, sources of help
- Getting
more out of beam models :tapering sections, discrete
loads and moving loads, temperature effects, settlement of
supports, enveloping and smart combinations, report writer,
obtaining natural frequencies
- Plate/shell modelling: construction options/
classification, analysis options, isotropic slabs, plate models,
grillage analogy, orthotropic slabs, multicellular slabs, shear
key / box beam,
- Beam and slab construction:
construction options/ classification, analysis options, mixing
elements, ordinary beams with top slab, box beams with top slab
- Bridge
loading: principles and use of the vehicle load optimisation
facility, wheel loads
- Workshop
and tutor-led examples
 To
attend this Introduction day of the training course
costs 400 Euros and requires you to register in
advance to reserve your place.

LUSAS
for Structural and Bridge Applications (Advanced Day)
25 June 2014 |
|
This training day is for engineers with prior knowledge and use of LUSAS wanting to
extend their knowledge by carrying out more advanced modelling for structural and bridge
applications.
Day 2
: Advanced
structural and bridge application modelling with LUSAS
With
a focus on the new facilities and features in the newly released
Version 15 of LUSAS, the topics covered will
include:
- Dynamics analysis: linear
dynamics, modal dynamics facilities in LUSAS, transient
dynamics, step-by-step analysis of structures, understanding why
traditional analytical modal dynamics will not work for some
structures.
- Nonlinear analysis: advanced
analysis control, geometric
nonlinear analysis, nonlinear
materials, plate girder buckling
- Staged construction modelling: techniques
available for complex bridge construction
- Soil structure interaction
modelling: techniques available
- Workshop
and tutor-led examples
To
attend this Advanced day of the training course
costs 400 Euros and requires you to register in
advance to reserve your place.
