Description
Structural engineers are quite familiar with the disconnect between design and documentation tools. Construction documents have our engineering analysis in their DNA. Despite this connection, we create these documents using tools that don't share information. The impact of this disconnect ranges from mild inconvenience to profit-crushing time sinks. What if our tools could "talk" to one another? Imagine structural modeling, interdisciplinary coordination, engineering analysis, design, and final documentation creation on a unified platform. Given today's powerful BIM (Building Information Modeling) environments, this workflow isn't a dream. This class will examine real-world collaborative tools for a BIM-driven structural-engineering design process inside the Revit environment. What should structural design look like without the burden of parallel workflows? Case study: Revit-driven design of steel structures with real-time model updating using ENERCALC Structural Engineering Library design calculations.

Seth RoswurmSeth is a licensed structural engineer and software developer with structural design experience in a range of project types including governmental buildings, commercial and military aviation structures, higher education facilities, K-12 education facilities, multi-family residential structures, and ICC 500/FEMA 361 shelter projects. His experience spans the entire life-cycle of a project, from schematic design, to structural analysis, to structural detailing, and finally construction administration. In addition to structural design work, Seth has a broad range of expertise in developing and deploying both standalone and API-integrated custom software solutions. His role with ENERCALC is to lead the creation of immersive design experiences for structural engineers at the intersection of modern BIM workflows and powerful structural design calculations.
Maher (Mack) EltarhoniMaher is a licensed structural engineer in the states of Oklahoma and Texas with tremendous experience in the design of low and mid rise structures. Over the years, he gained versatile knowledge by working with all traditional structural materials. Maher's experience spans all stages of project life from concept drawings, to construction administration. Maher developed special interest in the engineering of cold formed steel, and adopted it as a specialty. Maher is currently the owner of ELTA design group; a structural engineering firm that provides delegated design services for the cold formed metal framing industry in both Oklahoma and Texas where he partners with architects and contractors to engineer or value engineer light gauge framing systems.
