Structural Analysis and Design Software

In 2021, a timber pavilion called 'Into the Woods' was built in the garden of the Swiss Embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was created on the occasion of the annual festival '3 Days of Design'.

The new sports hall of the Alice Salomon School in Hanover is exceptional from an architectural and structural point of view. The timber structure stands on a reinforced concrete ground floor and cantilevers above it at the sides about 5.5 m.

The 'Azerbaijan Pavilion' was an eye-catcher at Expo 2021 in Dubai. Simmetrico network and iDeas were responsible for the architecturally valuable design. Among other things, Dlubal customer Rubner Ingenieurholzbau created the structural analysis and design and constructed the complex glued-laminated timber structure at its own site.

This elegant steel spiral staircase is located in an office building in Sherwood Street, at Piccadilly Circus in central London.

An 80-tonne steel structure subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses, had an obsolete fastening system that no longer met the current ergonomic requirements. The study of a new fastening system was based on the specifications requiring significant ergonomic improvement, a resistance to certified stresses, limited space requirements and cost, as well as ease of implementation and operation.

The new Desmet-Dardenne funeral parlour opened in the town of Chimay, France, in 2021. In the search of an ecological construction, the choice focused on a structure made mainly of timber.
