Frilo Statics modules

Nemetschek Scia offers 6 frequently used Frilo modules.

Furthermore, another Frilo module (Second Order Analysis of Lateral Torsional Buckling) has already been integrated into Scia software (starting from version 2007.1) and can be used to complete the steel code check.

In the near future, more stand-alone Frilo modules will be made available through Nemetschek Scia. They are currently available in German, Dutch, English and Czech and include the National Annexes for Belgium, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

For more information about these modules, please visit the FriLo webshop: http://shop.scia-online.com

The supported modules are:

 

B2 – Design of reinforced concrete

 The B2 application allows you to perform cross-section analyses for bending with longitudinal force as well as shear force. Additionally, you can produce crack width evidence (loading), perform stress analyses or calculate effective rigidity.

MWX – Design of masonry

MWX is a general design application for establishing the structural safety of individual walls made of bricks with rectangular cross-sections. The analysis can be based on a simplified or more accurate calculation method. In addition to masonry subjected mainly to compression, you can also check walls that are subjected to horizontal forces in the direction of the plate or slab, thus enabling the analysis of bracing plates.

BTII – Bending Torsion Theorem

Note: this module is integrated into the environment of Scia Engineer

The LTBII functionality in Scia Engineer provides steel users with the possibility to complete the steel code check results with the 2nd order theory calculation performed by the connected Friedrich + Lochner solver, according to EC3.

The FriLo solver can be used in two ways. The first pertains to detailed calculation of Mcr through an eigenvalue solution. The main advantage of this option is that for any combined type of transverse loading the true Mcr can be calculated. This Mcr is then used in the Scia Engineer Lateral Torsional Buckling check.

The second concerns 2nd order analysis using 7 degrees of freedom. This 2nd order calculation includes torsional and warping effects. The 2nd order warping effects are then used in the Scia Engineer combined stress check. The main advantage is that, due to the fact that Lateral Torsional Buckling is already accounted for in this 2nd order calculation, a Lateral Torsional Buckling check no longer needs to be carried out.
