Stay up to date as our experts share the latest developments in structural engineering, exciting new features, enhancements, technical papers, training courses and more.
The vibration limit state is now calculated for sawn lumber floor joists. To improve the productivity of GSE users, the floor joists are automatically generated inside the truss load surfaces.
To get the exact analysis results, the sections must be analyzed on their principal axes. The bending resistance must also be computed on the principal axes of the section.
This new feature allows users to quickly define various types of loads on all the plate elements present in the selected perimeters.
From May 4th to May 7th, our experts will be exhibiting at the 2020 OTC Houston, Texas regarding the PSE Petroleum Structural Engineering® Software.
Come visit our booth #6464 in the NRG Arena.
The soil-structure interaction is an important component in the design of a building or any structure in general. In order to improve the productivity for SAFI software users, an automatic slab on grade generation function has been added.
COME MEET US AT THE 2020 CNSBC ! The Canadian National Steel Bridge Competition 2020 will be hosted by Western University in London, Ontario from May 14-17, 2020.
It is important to note that the torsional stiffness of an open section is function of the warping end conditions as well as the location of the torsional load. Thus, the distribution of the forces in the structure having members resisting torsion may differ whether this option is enabled or disabled.
The punching shear analysis is directly linked to any joints that has been defined as a slab support of type column in the concrete tab of a joint properties. By defining the geometrical properties of a slab supporting joint, the program will determine the shear perimeter around the support.
The latest revision of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC-2015) has been integrated to the SAFI program (SAFI version 11). This integration takes place in the seismic analysis, the regional data and the automated load combinations.
The latest revision of the GSE STEEL DESIGN enables structural steel designers to design cold-formed steel members based on the North American specification for the design of cold-formed steel structural members covering Canada (CSA S136-16), the United States and Mexico (AISI S100-16).
