Geotechnical engineers usually prefer to carry out 2D numerical analyses because FE models are simpler and faster to set up, plus, they are also quicker to run and post-process. On the other hand, 2D models will never fully reflect the...

WaterGEMS is a hydraulic modeling application that provides an easy-to-use environment to confidently analyze, design, and optimize water distribution systems. In this article we will understand the Darwin Designer tool in WaterGEMS. WaterGEMS With WaterGEMS you can perform: Hydraulic operations,...
The CAD software MicroStation understands and respects your need for supporting the designs you created in the past. These old files can still be used as they are, without any conversion. We advise converting older files to DGN V8 format,...
In a pipe network, all elements are connected such that changing anything at any location impacts the entire network. Adding a pipe in the far northwest part of the system affects flow in the far southeast part (minimally in many...
In MicroStation or in any other PowerPlatform tools (OpenBuildings, OpenRoads, OpenBridge) almost all functionalities has a Key-in. Key-ins allow us to use lots of functionalities with simple commands. In GenerativeComponents, there is an in-built function KeyIn() that allows us to...
They are nonlinear, partial differential equations which are about the worst kinds of equations to solve. About the only things that can make them worse are changes in state (e.g. steam condensing) or non-Newtonian fluids (e.g. mudflows). Numerous researchers have...
Partial wind load in STAAD.Pro is applied through “Groups”. By default, STAAD.Pro considers structures as enclosed. STAAD.Pro will calculate wind load on the nearest face of the structure blocking the wind or the entire exposed area. To apply partial wind...
Bentley Systems recently launched a new design product that automates the creation of digital twins for telecom towers. OpenTower iQ gives designers and contractors 3D visualization and predictive design for utility towers. It enables data captured by drones to be...
OpenSite Designer is an application that employs an open modeling environment. This is used for the delivery of site design projects from concept to completion. This application provides a detailed design for rapid site modeling. OpenSite Designer provides analysis, earthwork...
