Aperçu
Aperçu Calculatrice d’acier™
La Calculatrice d’Acier™ est un logiciel indépendant permettant la vérification et l’optimisation de structures simples telles que des poutres et des poteaux en acier. Il s’agit d’un outil de validation efficace pour vérifier les résultats de conception d’éléments spécifiques de modèles complexes. L’optimisation de la conception et la sélection automatique des sections font des structures en acier économiques et de qualité une réalité.

Users can select an appropriate model from the numerous models available provided with the SAFI Steel Calculator™:
– Simple beams with common support conditions
– Continuous beams with up to four spans
– Cantilever beams
– Gerber beams
– Columns with offset loads with common support conditions
The input data consists of selecting a section shape and defining the basic loads, the design parameters and the geometric limits.
The results of the Steel Calculator™ are summarized for each member and displayed on the screen, detailed reports are also available.
The Steel Calculator™ can rapidly perform the computations for continuous beams and columns to carry one of the following tasks:
– Verification of the limit states design. A summary and a full analysis and verification report are available.
– Optimization according to weight to find the best section. A summary and a full analysis and verification report are available.
– All sections results, which is a table to present the behavior of the model for every section in the databases. The best section is indeed included in this table.
Standard CISC, AISC or European sections or parametric section shapes libraries created with the GSE General Structural Engineering software.
Sections can be selected by users or by the program.
Required inputs: section types, basic loads, geometric limits and design parameters.
To account for steel shape availability, the program can also perform verification on all section shapes of a given category.

The steel standards with which the verification and optimization calculations are made must be selected.
Users must define the combined loads for verification and design computations. The combined loads are automatically generated with the Steel Calculator™.<
