Comprehensive
Steel Design in LUSAS version 16 (33:35)
-
Modelling of
a multi-storey steel framed building showing use of
layout grids and generation of columns, bracing and
floor slab geometry. The use of rigid zones to
accurately model steel members is explained together
with the use of floor loading that distributes
floor sub-beam and imposed loads automatically to
supporting perimeter beams. Merging-in of a model of
the upper tower is performed to show one of the new
collaboration features. Design code-based combinations
are created followed by steel frame design attributes that specify member design
values, members lengths and end conditions used in the
determination of buckling capacities. Design checks are
carried out to EN1991-1-1 (buildings) showing utilisation factors and a member
report is created for a selected column to demonstrate the
transparent nature of the LUSAS steel design checking facility
that shows the calculations made, revealing every step,
every clause reference, and every formula. (Version
16.0)
-
A sample
model report for a selected column member is available here.

Simplify
your workflow in LUSAS version 16 (44:43)
-
Following a
brief overview of the some of the new features within LUSAS
version 16 that simplify the model building, results
viewing and reporting processes, a simple skewed reinforced concrete slab model is used to
show how these facilities improve and speed-up a typical workflow.
The presentation covers layout grids, analysis
categories, graphing
through 2D improvements, Print Results Wizard changes
and model reporting, running an influence analysis, and
using traffic load optimisation to show vehicle loading
patterns for chosen locations of interest. Design combinations are
created and RC slab design attributes assigned to the
model to allow viewing of contours of maximum
utilisation for ULS RC slab design to BS
EN1992-2:2005/NA:2007. (Version 16.0)
-
A similar
recording, showing modelling, traffic load optimisation and RC slab design to AASHTO
LRFD 7th Edition is available here.

Automation
and Customisation with LUSAS (49:33)
-
Describes how all
operations carried out in the LUSAS interface can be
controlled by a range of programming languages. You can create code directly or use LUSAS to create VB
scripts through the recording of interface operations
(macro record). These operations can also be called by
external applications through the LUSAS Programmable
Interface (LPI). This
means that you can view and edit a recorded session,
parameterise those commands, turn them into
sub-routines, add loops and other functions to the
scripts and create your own utilities, or even create a
totally different application or program - using the
proven core technology of LUSAS. (Version 15.2)

Footbridge
Dynamics with LUSAS (37:23)
-
Shows a summary of the modelling
and analysis techniques involved in the real-time modelling in
LUSAS of a steel arch pedestrian bridge. An overview of eigenvalue
and Interactive Modal Dynamics techniques is explained
prior to showing the procedures required to progess from
a linear static model and carry out an
eigenvalue analysis and subsequent pedestrian loading
assessment and response analysis to the Eurocode.
(Version 15.2)
-
A more
detailed video related to damping parameters, setting of
transient time-step controls, graphing of peak
accelerations to compare to Eurocode recommendations for
this footbridge model can be viewed from the LUSAS
Video index page.

Rail bridge
assessment using LUSAS with relevant guidance (43:59)
-
Describes the key considerations in the modelling of a U-frame
rail bridge
when the purpose is to obtain improved buckling resistance as compared
to Code Of Practice rules. It explains why such advantages may
exist and shows, in real time, the ease and speed with which such a
model can be created and analysed using LUSAS, with references to Network Rail's Guidance Note
NR/GM/CIV/025 and BS5400-3:2000. The use of elastic critical (eigen)
buckling analysis and nonlinear modelling techniques are also
discussed. (Version 15.2)

LUSAS
Steel and Composite Deck Design to EC4 webinar (41:56)
-
Highlights the steps involved and benefits obtained
in using the LUSAS Steel and Composite Deck Design
software option, which carries out comprehensive
calculations and design checks to EC4. The
presentation sessions cover: defining section
geometry, LUSAS modelling, and viewing results and
generating full reports. (Version 15.1)

|
LUSAS
Version 15.1 Update webinar (49:39)
-
Shows how selected new facilities and
improvements in the LUSAS Version 15.1 could be of
great benefit to you in your organisation. In addition to
highlighting the main new
functionality in version 15.1 the webinar includes three short LUSAS presentation sessions
covering: results
extraction and reporting, staged
construction improvements, and ease-of-use improvements. (Version
