Specific Feature Solutions for Landmark Structures in Consteel

Global buckling analysis

Global buckling analysis serves Consteel’s automatic stability design based on the General Method of EN 1993-1-1. It is a linear eigenvalue analysis performed on the whole structural model calculating the elastic critical load levels and connected buckling shapes showing the relevant modes of stability loss. All global buckling modes (flexural, torsional, and lateral-torsional buckling, and any interactions of these) are calculated, visualized and can be used for automatic design.

Automatic buckling design based on the ‘General Method’

General Method is the smartest way of stability design, described in EN 1993-1-1. It is applicable for any complex cases of out-of-plane buckling problems (flexural, torsional, and lateral-torsional buckling, and any interactions of these) with arbitrary members, loading and support conditions. Based on the global buckling and sensitivity analysis, it provides a comprehensive and automatic solution for stability design.

Parametric model building in Grasshopper – Pangolin

In the dynamicly evolving landscape of structural design, Consteel’s Pangolin plugin for Grasshopper revolutionizes parametric model building, analysis and design. By seamlessly integrating Consteel’s powerful capabilities within Grasshopper’s intuitive visual programming environment, Pangolin empowers engineers to create complex structural models with unprecedented flexibility and efficiency.

Immersive visualization of the true structural behavior

The key uniqueness of Consteel lies in its ability to model real structural behavior as accurately as possible, building automation and unique design procedures upon this foundation.
A crucial element of this approach is the immersive visualization, which enables a realistic representation of the deformations associated with the actual structural behavior—whether they result from applied loads or buckling shapes.
This visualization goes beyond conventional displacement components by also incorporating warping and other local deformations of structural elements, making the representation smoother and more realistic. It almost depicts the structure as if the beams and plates were analyzed using shell models.
Why is this important?
Because a visually striking and intuitive representation conveys the structural behavior far more effectively than even multiple pages of calculations or tables.

How can Consteel IMPROVE your work?

Hungexpo Project, Arrival Hall

A real case study on advanced parametric BIM workflow.

The Hungexpo Budapest Fair is going through a massive revitalization. This project includes the new Arrival Hall Building, an attractive propeller-shaped building. A building with such geometric complexity requires advanced design methods and multi-platform collaboration. In this article, we aim to give an insight into the open BIM environment and parametric design methods used in the design process.
