Building Design

With SOFiSTiK FEM packages, you can create model-based structural analyses that are consistent throughout the BIM process: from preliminary design and FE analyses to plan derivation – all from a central discipline model.

Subsystems can be clearly structured, and results can be compared directly on the element. Seamless integration with Autodesk® Revit® saves time and improves design quality.

What advantages does SOFiSTiK offer for building design?


Integrated interface to Autodesk® Revit®

  • Interface SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design for Revit included in all FEM packages
  • Automatic generation of the FE model from the analytical Revit model (automatically generated with the Analytical Model Generator) – including loads and boundary conditions
  • Direct 3D analysis and Eurocode member design (e.g. slabs, beams, columns) in the Revit environment
  • Further analysis possible in SOFiSTiK Structural Desktop


Graphical input with SOFiPLUS

  • AutoCAD® based input program for any 3D FE systems


Intelligent load management

  • Consideration of construction stages and time-dependent effects
  • Traceable load transfer across multiple floors
  • Automatic load superposition according to Eurocode and other design codes


Standard-compliant design of reinforced and prestressed concrete

  • Fully integrated design according to Eurocodes and international standards
  • Punching checks for slabs, columns and wall corners and ends 


Member organization and automated design

  • Design assistants for columns and continuous beams for fast grouping and design of large quantities of members  
  • Column fire design  
  • Additional member design checks, e.g. shear walls or building cores


Steel Design  

  • Linear, 2nd-order theory (P-Delta) and large displacement analysis
  • Stress design, section classification, nonlinear interaction and plastification for steel sections according to Eurocode with several national annexes
  • Flexural buckling and lateral torsional buckling checks according to Eurocode using the equivalent member method

 


Advanced structural analyses and sophisticated Design

  • Analysis of soil-structure interaction for realistic modeling
  • Earthquake design according to Eurocode 8, including national annexes 



Transparent result presentation

  • Transparent result reports
  • Graphical and tabular presentation of results
  • Dynamic rebar check in BIM workflow
  • Open data exchange: export to Excel, IFC, SAF and many more
