SEAW Wind Engineering Committee

November 9, 2017

The SEAW Wind Committee recommends that, when appropriate, designers consider an intermediate exposure where minor bodies of water or other similar upwind changes in ground surface roughness allow for the use of exposure less severe than that defined in Section 26.7.3. ASCE 7 commentary Section C27.3.1 provides an upwind fetch based calculation method producing a height dependent intermediate velocity pressure coefficient appropriate for this purpose.

Parametric Modeling Innovates Bridge Design

whitePaper | January 6, 2020

Bridge design is no simple matter. While traditional 3D modeling software is useful for buildings, these structures don’t present the same challenges that bridge design does. Jalpesh Patel, Senior Technical Consultant with Allplan explains why: Buildings are mainly linear, vertical structures with minimal to no obstruction. Bridges, on the other hand, are non-linear, horizontal structures that must weave through obstacles, existing structures, and multiple right-ofway restrictions.

HARDWARE-SOFTWARE COLLABORATION DRIVES THE FUTURE OF CAE

whitePaper | March 31, 2022

Today’s product design engineers challenge the limits of computing with computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications. By accelerating the process of pinpointing design flaws and producing higher-quality, better-performing products, these applications enable manufacturers to improve designs and reduce time to market. The key to improving CAE performance and reaching key insights faster is a combination of specific 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors suited for CAE workloads, the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 Plus scale-out server, and close collaboration between Intel®, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and CAE application vendors

THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY EMBRACES CLOUD-NATIVE ENGINEERING

whitePaper | February 24, 2022

Cloud-native engineering empowers organizations to design and develop scalable, agile, cost-effective applications and run them in dynamic environments such as on-premises or in public, private, or hybrid clouds. A cloud-native application consists of microservices working together in an application that can be scaled easily. These microservices are often packaged in code along with libraries and dependencies to run anywhere. In a cloud-native app, the application code is designed, built, and delivered very differently than it would be for conventional, monolithic apps. Cloud-native engineering enables loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable to be combined with robust automation, allowing engineers to make changes frequently.
