New Features of Version SOFiSTiK I 2022

SOFiSTiK | 2022 awaits you with optimized workflows including new standard member checks and extended earthquake tasks with special storey checks that are especially designed to help you deliver immaculate results for even the most demanding of building design projects.

For a smooth BIM planning process, the powerful SOFiSTiK structural engineering software tools are complemented by new and improved model interfaces such as SAF as well as an optimized integration of IFC model data into projects.

Earthquake RSA – reloaded

New task for earthquake analysis ties together important developments regarding the Response Spectra Analysis.
The new task integrates seamlessly between upstream modeling and downstream design steps (like storey checks). It adopts storey level information as a central ingredient and it offers a focused workflow towards establishing design relevant structural response data.
Behind the user-friendly interface lies a newly developed FE core technology, which comes with additional tweaks such as mode filtering, optional shear- and bending stiffness reduction for supporting members and a very performant eigenmode analysis for large systems.

Reinforcement that adapts to your needs

SOFiSTiK | 2022 offers reinforcement planning that revolves around your needs. With improved customizability and support for international design standards, the Reinforcement Package (RC Package) with the BIM Apps Reinforcement Detailing (RCD) and Reinforcement Generation (RCG) provides reliable tools for generating and deriving reinforcement plans according to your individual requirements.

For classic 2D planning, the well-proven 2D software SOFiCAD can be integrated completely seamlessly into your workflow.

New BIM Workflow for (Shear) Wall Reinforcement

User-friendly generation of required wall reinforcement with Reinforcement Generation. Includes Labeling of static dependencies.
Addition of constructive details and derivation of a reinforcement plan including all labels, details and lists using Reinforcement Detailing.
Generated and complemented reinforcement can be copied to other walls with a few clicks – all plans, views, labels, details and lists are automatically applied to the copy.
Check and adjustment of required reinforcement for individual walls.

Extended International Requirements

Reinforcement Detailing includes manifold new features to customize Plan Labeling Styles to meet different international requirements (e.g. Suisse Style).
Steel Bar Distribution in accordance with the “SOFiSTiK Layout Catalogue”.
Generation, labeling and detailing of layout areas.
Support of reinforcement functionalities from Autodesk Revit, like Rebar Coupler, Rebar Presentation, Worksets, Host Change, Revit Schedules, Material Parameter, Rounding Overrides, …
Editable rebar shapes folded in the drawing plane with leading line.
Detailing according to reinforcement layer.

Rhinoceros Interface and Grasshopper Toolbox

Our Open BIM Concept includes Interfaces to extern software to make modeling and analysis even more flexible.
A great example are the interfaces to the versatile NURBS-based 3D-Modeler Rhinoceros from Robert McNeel & Associates as well as the integrated visual scripting editor Grasshopper, that open the door for the definition of fully parametric analysis models of any kind of geometrical shape.
There is a new interface for the current version Rhino 7.

Bridge design without borders

Let’s build bridges internationally. SOFiSTiK now provides extended support of US standards like AASHTO. In addition, improved modeling options for interactive definition and visualization further emphasize the software’s efficiency for bridge design on an international scale.

The trusted Grasshopper interface as well as the SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler have been equipped with enhanced functionalities and are your powerful tools for flexible BIM planning within the SOFiSTiK bridge portfolio.

Construction Stages in SOFiPLUS(-X)

Start and end construction stages for structural element groups can now be defined directly during the system definition in SOFiPLUS(-X).
The “Assign Group” dialog has been extended for the construction stage definition – this way, group elements and construction stages can be assigned user-friendly in only one step.
The new tool “Visualize Construction Stages” gives an overview of the defined construction stages: A clear bar chart visualizes the assembly and the removal of tendons and structural element groups. With a click at any point on the bar all elements that are inactive at this moment of construction can be hidden, enabling an easy check of the defined construction progress.
The construction stage definition for the groups is automatically synchronized with the SSD Construction Stage Manager.

Workflow Bridge Bearings

The new point command “Bridge Bearings” in SOFiPLUS(-X) creates with only one click all required spring elements between bridge superstructure and substructure.
The defined spring package is added to a Result Set for further analysis.
The SSD Task Traffic Loader now offers the Result Sets (or rather the spring forces, displacements and rotations saved in the set) for the evaluation of the influence lines.
Within results, a lucid table of all forces, displacements and rotations saved in the Result Set can be generated for post-processing purposes.

Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler

The new Infra Browser is a user-friendly tool to browse through your infrastructure project. You can navigate between axes, components, and check dependencies between them.
Infrastructure Categories, such as Bridge Deck or Pier, are now available in the Revit User Interface and supported by creation of superstructure components and other tools.
Chord length is now available as new measurement type in multiple commands.
New Feature Graphical Modeling helps you to create an axis, add placements and select the station visually in the view area.
Batch Modelling enhances the designing workflow by defining multiple components and creating them at once.

In the development of version 2022, we paid special attention to faster and easier application of frequently used functions. It was our goal to provide a version that is even more efficient and lets users fully concentrate on engineering tasks and decisions. Enhanced workflows and additional earthquake tasks greatly increase the software’s performance for above-standard building design projects.

In our core competence area of bridge design, we have become more international and interactive, while added and improved interfaces with simplified IFC exchange modalities and a brandnew SAF interface open users the door for completely flexible BIM planning.

Overall, the new version is designed to facilitate your daily work and deliver even more reliable and precise results. The whole SOFiSTiK team and I are looking forward to seeing many users take advantage of the benefits of version 2022
