In this newsletter we would like to tell you more about the reinforcement calculation in XFEM4U.
As you know, we have an effective and especially pleasant cooperation with Prof.dr.ir. Johan Blaauwendraad and dr.ir.drs. René Braam. Johan and René have developed a calculation method with which reinforcement in a plate or shell can be designed efficiently. We have implemented this method of reinforcement design in XFEM4U during the past year.
In the article "Reinforcement of shells and plates", prepared by both gentlemen, this method is described in detail and clearly. The article has been published in the latest version of professional Dutch magazine Cement (2021/8).
Are you also curious about this new calculation method?
In Cement you can find a shortened version of the article. With the button below you can download and read the full (long) version.
XFEM4U - version 5.09.01 shows automatically a detailed calculation of the decisive nodes in your plate or wall. Now that you can also see the article, you can follow your calculation made with XFEM4U step-by-step even more easily and, if necessary, recalculate it by hand. That is truly unique! None of our competitors have this option and the result is often a black box on which you as an engineer have to rely. Struct4U shows you that it can be different and takes you through the calculation.
In release notes you will find an overview of all changes.
