Software-Based Structural Analysis - Fundamentals, Requirements, Modeling
Also Known As:
The VDI 6201 Part 1 standard addresses the need for quality assurance and guidelines in the development and use of software for structural engineering in Germany. Currently, there are no specific regulations in place, leading to potential issues such as poor software quality and disagreements between stakeholders regarding the reliability of structural software results.
This standard aims to minimize shortcomings in software-based detection of bearing capacity and serviceability to ensure higher quality standards. By providing guidelines and requirements for software-based safety testing, the standard aims to increase the acceptance of these testing methods in international competition. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of structural software solutions, particularly in the context of complex structures, to prevent damages and even structural failure in extreme cases.
