An add-on module for Vectorworks Spotlight and Designer, Braceworks provides design, production, and rigging professionals with an easy way to gauge the performance of temporary entertainment structures under load to ensure safety and compliance with engineering standards. By adding Braceworks into Spotlight, design, production, and rigging professionals have a completely integrated entertainment modeling, analysis, and documentation solution for the first time. Braceworks analyzes complete 3D structural systems modeled in Spotlight. It supports point and distributed load types, straight and curved structural members, and multiple materials. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model enables static analyses with results displaying graphically on the model for easy reference. Braceworks also includes support for load calculation and truss structure Eurocodes and upcoming ESTA standards, such as the E1.6. It also automatically generates detailed calculation reports and exports files as DSTV for easy sharing with structural engineers. To see Braceworks in action, visit vectorworks.net/braceworks.
