The NCSEA Summit always provides a great selection of exhibitors and sessions, and last week’s summit in Vegas was no exception! I practice heavily in the design of Cold Formed Steel (CFS), and got the chance to have a fantastic discussion with the representatives at MiTek’s booth. I was able to see a mini CFS truss with creative top chord and web members. One cool thing is that MiTek can preassemble everything including the clips. This way, the framer is only screwing the components together. Traditionally, accessories such as the clips come loose where the framer on site has to pick the clip from pile of clips that are shipped with the trusses. This removes a lot of the guess work and it provides the framer with a seamless and, dare I say, a pleasant installation experience. My colleagues and I at ENERCALC truly enjoy attending NCSEA where we meet long time users as well as engage with other exhibitors and industry leaders! See you next year in NYC!

2 weekends ago, I was at a rustic hotel with the family. The employee side entry of the hotel has a green fabric standalone canopy similar to the one in the photo. The Oklahoma wind has not been kind to the base plate. These photos show the deformation. While this has insignificant impact on the functionality of the canopy, this serves as a reminder to many engineers (especially young ones) that base plates are not infinitely rigid. (No matter what Hilti PROFIS says haha) -- ?? Do structural engineers check every base plate when they have moment or do they have a minimum base plate size they use everywhere? #Steel #Structural #Engineering #Baseplate #OKC #AISC

?? Seeing the metal stud framing come together in this huge elementary school project makes us happy! Our CFS #engineering team is so proud of the progress this building has made ???? ????

It's halfway through the week - treat yourself to some high-quality learning content from the ENERCALC team today!! Join us later today for the September installment of our recurring monthly webinar series "ENERCALC Office Hours". Office Hours is taught each month by senior structural engineer Maher (Mack) Eltarhoni, P.E. S.E. It's free and open to the public! Every month's program is fresh and unique with some combination of the following: - Showcase new features and updates from #ENERCALC - Show optimized design workflows - Answer previously submitted questions - Answer live audience Q&A and go through hands-on examples Register to attend and get reminded of upcoming sessions at our website: https://lnkd.in/gdqxFtQk See you there! #structuralengineering #structuralanalysis #structuraldesign #webinar #learning

It is amazing to see so many familiar faces in this video! Without a doubt, the NCSEA Summit is the premier event of the year for all structural engineers. From interesting keynote speakers, a healthy mix of technical, cutting edge, and soft skill educational sessions, to networking opportunities, NCSEA Summit is the place to be. The ENERCALC's team and I are excited to see everyone in LV this November! #NCSEA #Structural #Engineers #Summit #LasVegas #NCSEA2024

It's Office Hours time again!! Mark your calendar to join the ENERCALC #structuralengineering team this afternoon (Wed, 8/7/24 at 2:00 PM US Central) for our monthly open forum training session. For those who aren't familiar, Office Hours is a recurring monthly webinar series hosted by Maher (Mack) Eltarhoni, P.E. S.E. that provides a direct line of communication between us and our users. It's meant to do multiple things: - Showcase new features and updates from #ENERCALC - Show optimized design workflows - Answer previously submitted questions - Do live Q&A with attendees and go through hands-on examples To learn more, to join today's session, or to sign up for alerts for future sessions, stop by the office hours page on our website: https://lnkd.in/gdqxFtQk #structuralengineering #structuralanalysis #structuraldesign #training #learning #webinar #software

don't get this request very often, when we do, Ken says it's ready for concrete

As the city of Edmond continues to grow, we're honored to partner in building the brand new City Hall Complex. Stay tuned to see how this update to downtown Edmond looks when it's complete! For now, check out the conceptual drawing of the new City Hall, courtesy city of Edmond.

Do you ever wonder how much easier your core #structuralengineering design work could be without repetitive data entry? What if your team has already spent time and effort building a #BIM model? Here's an awesome sneak preview hot off the presses from the ENERCALC for #Revit (EFR) development team. Later this summer, we'll be announcing the official launch of Revit integration for the #ENERCALC "General Footing" module! Just like with our other Revit workflows, the EFR footing integration takes your productivity to the next level with an impossibly intuitive "point and click" launch process. One click on a physical footing element in your Revit model instantly creates a fully-built ENERCALC General Footing calculation ready for design. Easily interop concrete & rebar properties, soil properties, footing geometry, column base reactions, and more. All in mere seconds with no manual transcription. What could be cooler than that? Well, when you're done designing, a simple "Save and Close" will allow you to push a variety of design information straight back to the Revit model. #structuraldesign #structuralanalysis #productivity #autodeskrevit #reviststructure #revitbim #structuralengineers

We are beyond proud to have provided the cold formed steel framing engineering services for this world class athletic center at Oral Roberts University. Kudos to Southwest Drywall, KSQ Design, Wallace Design Collective, Thompson Construction Inc., and everyone who was involved in making this beautiful building a reality.
