From the first years of the last century, engineering and design methods have witnessed the evaluation of support tools that enabled the engineer to find solutions to complex problems. An engineer sees and will always see the word "complex" as a challenge against which he can measure his own technical-scientific mettle when supported by his tools. So during the early 1900s draft drawings were made by hand with a pencil or ink and calculations were made with the mythical square rule, resolving "complex" problems that today still number among the themes that continue to challenge engineers.
Little by little, computers arrived and revolutionized these methods. Automatic calculation programs written in different languages and based on the Principle of Virtual Work began to spread among professionals, enabling them to speed up their calculations and verifications at levels never before imagined. Meanwhile, the first software of so-called analytic drawing, based on calculation codes that translate the lines traced on the computer monitor into command strings, offering a speed and precision that would be impossible to obtain with a hand drawing. The development of such software took place at an impressive speed, to the point of providing an irreplaceable tool for any engineer at any level of planning.
Certainly, the ties with classical methods of engineering and design remain strong and limited by a sense of respect and recognition for the origins of the engineering profession, but in consideration of the present and looking towards the future, it will be increasingly necessary for new generations to offer services that are always more complete and punctual with a global view of the work in progress.
Concerning standard engineering and design methods, we offer services of calculation and structural design on three levels: preliminary + pre-dimensioning / definitive + structural calculation and verification / executive with construction details.
We know all the construction techniques and structural materials, from wood to load-bearing masonry, from steel to reinforced concrete.
In addition to structural calculations carried out scrupulously with FEM 3D modelling, we offer specific executive drawings of load-bearing structures in structural steel and reinforced concrete. This service is generally very popular in that our software enables us to model the entire structure in 3D. Then each individual piece can be analysed and put into order – processed in the workshop and successfully installed. We are capable of providing the distinct material of the entire structure before beginning the works to allow the ordering of material and have the entire contract under control. The composition of the drawing tables and of the lists is done entirely automatically, as the modifications during construction can be made to the 3D model, which automatically corrects the tables and cutting lists.
