Sofistik Analysis & Design

This course is around 16 hours long and covers every stage in the SOFiSTiK program in detail:

In the Pre-Process

• Introduction to the Interface: Familiarizing yourself with the program interface.

• Material Definition: You'll be surprised by the numerous features available to define materials and the variety of studies you can conduct with them.

• Cross Sections: Learn how to define cross sections for concrete, steel, or cold-formed sections, with powerful features for defining non-standard cold-formed sections.

• Drawing Geometry and Boundary Conditions: You'll experience the program's incredible capability in defining geometry and meshing with ease and high efficiency.

• Load Definition and Application: Understand various flexible methods to define and apply loads.

In the Processing Phase

• Load Combinations: Learn how to create load combinations.

• Earthquake Inputs: Discover how to input seismic data.

• Linear and Non-Linear Analysis: Gain knowledge on conducting both linear and non-linear analysis.

Projects

You'll work on 4 simplified but rich and diverse projects:

1. Steel with Hot Rolled Sections

2. Steel Racking Frames with Special Cold Formed Sections

3. Concrete Project: Designing slabs and producing reinforcement maps.

4. Concrete Project (Underground): Designing columns and beams, with a focus on the importance of considering construction stages.

5. Timber Structure: Designing a wooden structure (wooden canopy).

Additionally, you can join a dedicated WhatsApp support group for full technical assistance with your projects using SOFiSTiK.
