  1. Software for economic concrete designEfficient Analysis with the Strand7 API Doug Jenkins - Interactive Design Services

  2. Introduction • What is an API? • ST7 Tools Spreadsheet • Example Applications • Case Study

  3. What is an API? • Programming interface allowing read/write access to Strand7 data from external programs • Interface files provide for Visual Basic and VBA, C++, Delphi, Fortran (and Matlab in next version) • Requires some programming!

  4. ST7 Tools Spreadsheet • Allows complete Strand7 model file data to be written to and from Excel spreadsheets • Read analysis results for selected elements • Adjust element properties and run analysis from the spreadsheet • Run staged analyses – e.g. Backfill of buried structures • Calculate stresses and member capacity directly from Strand7 output • Greater control of graphical output • Access geometric data in Strand7 models

  5. Example Applications • Simple frame analysis • Complex 3D beam and plate analysis – suspension bridge • Analysis of laser scan data • Case Study – Analysis of large twin buried arch structure under high fill • RC Design Functions Spreadsheet
