AISC_ACI-EuroCodes Check & Design

2023

The CivilFEM app enables you to check and design your Ansys Workbench models according to various international standard codes of structural steel and reinforced concrete. These include the European EC3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005) and EC2 (EN 1992-1-1:2004/AC2008) standards, as well as the American Codes AISC ASD/LRDF and ACI 318-14 standards. Additionally, this app supports the American Nuclear Code ACI 349-13. Checks and designs are available for steel and reinforced concrete beams and concrete shells.

The CivilFEM app is completely integrated into the Ansys® interface, running the check and design application as if it were a new type of analysis. Easily define the structural elements that you want to check and design from the Ansys model's geometry. The Combination option allows you to define different combined load states from the simple states solved in Ansys. You can perform the combination by user rules or by code specifications (Eurocode and ASCE 7). You can then create the results for the check and design to be done for all the structural elements created and the load cases defined in the combinations. This free version is given with the following limitations:

• Only one material of each type.
• A single structural element of each type.
• Only one geometry for each structural element.
• Three data sets in combinations.
• Limit the number of CivilFEM Workbench-boxes to resolve to a single box.
