Construction stages

• Add / remove structural members
• Modification of attributes such as cross-section, material and bedding values
• Modification of hinges or gaps properties
• Adaptation of the system boundary conditions
• Multiple load case analysis for non-linear calculations

Both bar constructions and plane structures can be processed with the option RTconstructionstages fem. The fully graphically interactive processing enables fast familiarisation and provides the following advantages:

• Simple acquisition of the building history via subsystem allocations
• Applicable in structural and bridge engineering
• Assembly and reconstruction works can be recorded realistically
• Result stages can be treated further in a subsequent superposition and component design
• Construction stages can also be used for complex non-linear problems
