🔹 Peak wind pressure on buildings 🔹 PolyWind includes graphics to show exactly how wind orientation impacts peak wind pressure on buildings. 🌬️ In line with Eurocode DS/EN 1991-1-4, PolyWind applies a ±45° range around the chosen direction. 📐 #PolyWind #WindLoad #Eurocode #PeakPressure

🎉 New Feature in PolyBeam – End Anchorage 🎉 Søren has completed his first project at PolyStruc – and we must say, it turned out great! 👏 The new End Anchorage Calculation in PolyBeam identifies the critical section. Using these critical points, PolyBeam determines the necessary anchorage length, considering shear, bending, and torsion. 💡 The calculation includes reduction factors for concrete cover and confinement by transverse reinforcement. Big kudos to Søren for his work! 👏 Got questions or feedback? Let us know in the comments! #PolyStruc #PolyBeam #StructuralEngineering #ConcreteDesign #NewFeature

Which Column Is strongest? 🤔🏗️ Two identical steel columns, the only difference is the load position. 🔹 Option A: Simple column loaded at the top 🔹 Option B: Simple column loaded at the half way point What do you think? Does the location of the point load matter? Drop you answer in the comments and let’s discuss.👇😊 #StructuralEngineering #PolyColumn #EngineeringChallenge #LoadCapacity #CivilEngineering

🏗 Plastic Redistribution – When You Deviate from the Optimal Plastic Solution Deviating from the optimal plastic solution makes it importent to check reinforcement ductility. However, this can be tricky. To simplify this, the Danish national annex provides a straightforward method: Ductility is sufficient if the provided reinforcement (AsP) falls within a factor of 3 of the elastic or optimal plastic solution (AsE), ensuring 1/3 AsE ≤ AsP ≤ 3 AsE Have you worked with plastic redistribution?

Think Your Site is ‘Flat’? 🤔 The Wind Might Disagree! 💡   Did you know that even small hills and slopes can significantly impact wind loads? A review of 1,000 addresses in PolyWind showed that in 10% of cases, the orography factor c₀ was > 1.00. 📊 In other words, orography plays a role more often than you might think. For years, Danish wind load calculations have often ignored orography. But with increasing focus on control and documentation, it’s time to reconsider. 📑 #Construction #WindLoad #Orography #StructuralEngineering #PolyWind

🚀 AI Workshop at PolyStruc! 🚀 We recently brought our team together for an inspiring AI workshop! 🎉 Carsten Christensen, an AI specialist, shared valuable insights on how AI can optimize our workflows and help us deliver even better products. Key takeaways from the workshop: 🔹 Generative AI: Creating content, designs, and even code! 🔹 Agentic AI: AI that can act independently to solve tasks. 🔹 AI Ethics: Why responsibility in AI matters more than ever. 🔹 Mastering Prompts: The key to unlocking AI’s full potential. Beyond the great technical discussions, we also enjoyed delicious food and fantastic company. 🍽️😊 Can you guess where we’re already using a bit of AI in our software? 💡 Hint: PolyBeam and PolyWind! 😉 #PolyStruc #AI #Innovation #Engineering

🔍 How do you choose the best way to solve your Stringer model?🔍 This PDF will explore: ✔️ Elastic solution ✔️ Plastic solution ✔️ Optimal plastic solution These are applied to a simple example.

🔥 What is the critical steel temperature – and how do you calculate it? The critical steel temperature is the temperature at which the steel is 100% utilized. But how do you calculate it? Through an iterative process: 1️⃣ Guess a temperature 2️⃣ Apply reduction factors and check utilization 3️⃣ Repeat until utilization is 100% Manually, this takes time—but PolyBeam and PolyColumn do it quickly and accurately. ⚠️ Beware of simplified methods — they're often too conservative be costly. 👉 How do you calculate critical steel temperature?
