About the course
This course introduces the practical workflow of structural modelling and analysis with SOFiSTiK, starting from software structure and project organisation through to calculation, meshing, load application, and result interpretation.
It explains how geometry, materials, systems, and analysis data interact inside the central database and demonstrates modelling approaches using beams, area elements, and bridge components. Participants learn how meshing strategies influence accuracy, how supports and bridge bearings are defined, and how outputs are generated for engineering evaluation.
The sessions provide a clear understanding of the complete analysis workflow from model creation to calculation and documentation.
What you'll learn
- Navigate the full SOFiSTiK project workflow from model to documentation
- Use the central database for project control and data consistency
- Apply automatic meshing strategies for accurate finite element models
- Define supports, bridge bearings, and load combinations correctly
- Interpret structural results and identify modelling inaccuracies
