The Applied Element Method and Extreme Loading for Structures Software
On Wednesday, 10 May 2023, the event entitled "The Applied Element Method and Extreme Loading for Structures Software", organised by the Association of Iranian Students in Italy (ASII), will be held in Room 5 of the Politecnico.
This event will feature Extreme Loading for Structures Software or ELS, is an advanced non-linear structural analysis software tool designed specifically for structural engineers. ELS allows structural engineers to study the 3D behavior of structures through both the continuum and discrete stages of loading. This includes static and dynamic loads such as those generated by a blast, seismic events, impact, progressive collapse, and the wind. Unlike many structural analysis software tools which are based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), ELS utilizes a non-linear solver based on the Applied Element Method (AEM). This allows ELS to automatically analyze structural behavior during elastic and inelastic modes including the automatic yielding of reinforcement, detection, and generation of plastic hinges, buckling & post-buckling, crack propagation, membrane action & P-Delta effect, and separation of elements. The resulting debris and impacts with structural elements are also automatically analyzed and stress redistribution is inherently calculated.

Main topics:
- Engineers need another tool different from regular FEM analysis for analyzing structures under extreme loads.
- The concept of assigning Plastic hinges on FEM analysis and how it affects the behavior of the structure.
- What is the Applied Element Method "AEM", How it works & advantages of using it over FEM analysis?
- How easy is the use of ELS GUI and post-processing?
- ELS non-linear structural analysis applications.
