About the course
This course explains the theoretical background and practical workflow for defining materials and cross sections in SOFiSTiK using AQUA and the Cross-Section Editor. Participants learn how to define the air contact ratio, configure default AQUA settings, and create material definitions in both Teddy and SSD workflows. The course also demonstrates cross section modelling techniques with AQUA and graphical editing tools. Additional remarks and best-practice recommendations support reliable modelling and analysis preparation. The training is suited for engineers working with structural analysis and design workflows requiring accurate material and cross section properties in SOFiSTiK projects.
