It was suggested to us that Solid Works would be a good software package to model temperature loads on buildings and building elements. Various materials, concrete, steel, masonry, aluminum, and various elements, walls, curtain walls, roofs, building frames. The output needs to provide information on dimensional changes, stress at points of connection, stress through the element, with various changes in ambient air temperature. If anyone is familiar with this type of application re: Solid Works, we would look forward to your comments. Thank-you.






RE: It was suggested to us that Solid W
You would really need to discuss this with and FEA expert. I would think, since you are analyzing building structures, you would use simplified elements such as beam elements versus using solid modelling. The Cosmos/Works package does not incorporate these simple elements. We use the full version of the SRAC software, Cosmos/M, for most of our FEA work. It is better suited to shell elements and simplified elemets such as beam elements.
I would check out their software and have them give you a demo suited to your needs. You can check them out at www.srac.com.
Hope this helps...

We worked with Cosmos/Works 7.0 and we obtained excellent results and improvements.
