![[EN] CP 001069 | Multi-Purpose Hall in Calais, France](http://img.youtube.com/vi/aSm_sBXEUok/mqdefault.jpg)
A new multi‑purpose hall in the historic city center of Calais, France was inaugurated in mid-June 2015.The hall, made of steel, timber, and aluminum, has a modular structure. Therefore, it can be used for many occasions (weekly markets, fairs, concerts, spectacles, and much more).The clear style and the windows on the north and south sides allow a great deal of daylight, which is reflected by the internal wood cladding. On the west side, a folding door can be opened. It can then be used as a 69-foot-wide outdoor stage.

Structure
The multi-purpose hall in Calais is a structure with a wide self-supporting span of 65.6 x 121 x 41 ft.
On a base area of 10,764 ft2, the hall has a room with 8,073 ft2.
The gathered form of the interior wooden cladding and the exterior aluminum coating fit perfectly due to rigid metal frame beams bonded to each other, which adapt perfectly to the forms.
The grid metal frame beams have a static depth of 5.7 ft with a span of up to 110 ft. In order to stabilize them laterally, shell structures of reinforced concrete were constructed. They were also used for the engineering rooms of the building.

How to Conduct Validation Example in RWIND
Creating a validation example for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a critical step in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of simulation results. This process involves comparing the outcomes of CFD simulations with experimental or analytical data from real-world scenarios. The objective is to establish that the CFD model can faithfully replicate the physical phenomena it is intended to simulate. This guide outlines the essential steps in developing a validation example for CFD simulation, from selecting a suitable physical scenario to analyzing and comparing the results. By meticulously following these steps, engineers and researchers can enhance the credibility of their CFD models, paving the way for their effective application in diverse fields such as aerodynamics, aerospace, and environmental studies.
- Can I design members with Class 4 sections according to CSA S16 in the Steel Design add-on?
- How can I connect surfaces to other surfaces or members in a hinged/semi-rigid way? What are Line Hinges and Line Releases?
- How is the dimension for an equivalent round section calculated in the Timber Design add-on?
