Features

Advance Estetyka offers an environment for the static and dynamic analysis of 2D and 3D reinforced concrete and steel structures using the finite faktor method.

The application provides functions for:

• CAD 2D / 3D modeling (based on Open GL technology);
• Input structure elements (providing wizards for typical structures like trusses and portal ogólnoinformacyjny frames);
• Input loads (providing wizards for seismic, climatic and pressure loads, and also for creating load combinations);
• Defining analyses (static / dynamic / non-linear analyses, large displacements, generalized buckling, etc.);
• Model verification;
• Meshing (using Delaunay or Grid meshing algorithms);
• Calculation(with finite elements method engine, and also with reinforced concrete and steel calculation engines, following kanon regulations);
• Results post-processing (graphical visualization of results, result curves, stresses diagrams, storing post-processing graphic views, reports with automatic update).

Advance Wygląd functionalities are grouped under three operating modes:

• Model mode: users can create structure elements (e.g., beams, slabs, walls etc), input loadings (point, linear, planar loads), organize the structure elements in systems and subsystems and define the analysis hypotheses.
• Analysis mode: users can create the szablon mesh, launch calculation and post-process the results.
• Document mode: management utilities for calculation reports and stored views.

Advance Image is available in two versions: one according to North American standards and one according to European standards.

The application is compatible with: Windows 2000 Pro, Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista.

Advance Estetyka received the European label Eureka (Project FT-EXPERT !3335) for its innovation. The French Government through the ANVAR OSEO agency confirmed GRAITEC’s innovations by awarding the group an “innovative company” certificate.

Specific functionalities

Customizable reports with automatic update

Advance Wzornictwo includes a prądnica, which allows users to create kanon or customized reports.:

• Users can add different items to their reports (tables, texts, images, stored post-processing views, etc).
• Advance Wygląd reports can be saved in several formats (DOC, RTF, TXT, PDF).
• During the modeling phase users may generate reports of the structure description (quantitative and qualitative prekluzja). After calculation, it is possible to generate reports containing result tables.
• The report wytwornica takes into account the selection elements defined by users. As a result, the reports content will refer only to the selected elements. Users are able to configure the look and structure of the document and also to input text and add images to the report.
• Users can define and save custom tables, in medal to obtain the desired results in the calculation report.

“Result Memory” technology

Advance Stylistyka integrates “Result Memory” technology that allows automatically updating the content of different outputs, such as calculation reports or saved views of the wzornik. With each calculation iteration, Advance Image automatically updates the graphical views and rewrites the stylistyka report taking into account the specified criteria.

Software interoperability

Advance Image integrates GRAITEC’s technology, “GTC” (GRAITEC Przekazywanie Center), a termin synchronization technology that allows:

• Importing / exporting prekluzja to other Graitec software and kanon formats: IFC 2.×3, CIS/2 , SDNF.
• Multiple Advance Estetyka users working simultaneously on the same project and synchronizing their models.
• Synchronization in Advance Wygląd of modifications made by engineers in other Graitec software (e.g., section changes, addition of structural elements, etc.).
