Hi Brendan, I am a practicing SE in San Francisco. We do a lot of Performance Based Design using the software Perform 3D (a CSI product). You might want to a video on PBD at some point as your viewers will certainly find it interesting. And thank you for doing this and bringing our profession to the forefront.
Yes bro structural engineer is the skill for smart people. Structural engineer is always challenges. I have used ETABS for doing structural analysis, CSI Safe for RC slab design and check deflection, Adapt builder for PT slab design and check. For structural elements such as Beam column I use etabs and compare result with Spcolum, MathCAD 15/Prime. And also Midas design plush. Thank you for this intro and best wish for all structural engineers. I have created sharing platform can visit, Wish.!
You the best tutor.. I'm GLAD to found u
if I can give any advice that will help you for life is to dedicate time and create your own spreadsheets, in excel or on mtc, you can buy premade sheets but you won't know them and why they decided to use certain methods and leave out certain others, do your own and keep improving it and it will help you throughout your career.
at least here in New York, USA for buildings, it's moving towards Revit and RAM with Bluebeam being the documentation and pdf coordination/markups go-to.
Good list! Don’t forget about the FEM giants such as ansys or abaqus. Although they are not used much with practicing engineers, research and defense engineers rely greatly on them. Great video.
Hey Man Whats up ? Your channel is pretty good, I'm a civil engineer in Brazil, a hug and keep doing this nice work
LOVE THISSSSS! This type of video is just what i need
Fantastic sir. Loved the video. MathCAD was mind blowing to me.😅 I was just thinking yesterday while doing rcc design, checking the calculation is so hard with excel…
Thanks for your content! Idea for future videos - general tips&tricks for modeling a 3D concrete structure in any FEM software (walls, beams, plates, beams) - boundary conditions, coupling beams, avoiding numerical errors, etc...
Thanks for the video!! The most anticipated video!!
One of the issues I have with programs, for example like SAP, is that they model the completed structure. With concrete structures, certain loads, particularly dead-loads are "locked in" at various stages of construction. Therefore, composite section properties may not apply to certain loads, for example, a heavy concrete wall sitting on a concrete slab the was cast earlier. This may result in minor stress inaccuracies in many cases but not all.
So what I am getting is that one must know basic hand calcs and concepts about structural properties before jumping into any software.
Brendan thanks for very useful contents,i have a suggestion which if you can design step by step(from surveying to finished structure) a full timber,concrete,steel structures with explanation in videos i will be very glad to join your private membership. only for residential building
It's be great to hear more about how you've used python in structural engineering.
Frilo for calculation and allplan for drawing. 😎👍
Great video. I wonder what your insight about Staad.
Great video Brendan! Hoping to see Tribby3d on the list next year :)
In India we use staad pro and etab only
