Updated graphics tuning parameters are included in the graphicsConfig.env file, which can be downloaded and placed in your Abaqus installation. These changes are intended to configure Abaqus to best utilize individual graphics devices. We may update graphics tuning parameters for graphics devices. We recommend that you use the tested driver version if you experience problems. NOTE: Newer driver versions for the graphics card listed on this page are expected to work, but may not be compatible.

Other devices may be compatible but have not been tested.

However, we cannot certify that these devices are completely compatible with all possible hardware and software configurations. The analytical results explain the development of failures in the existing structure.SIMULIA tests specific graphics devices to ensure adequate performance with Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Viewer the graphics devices that have been tested (or scheduled for testing) are listed in the tables below. The structural behavior was determined in a more precise manner via non-linear wind time-history and incremental static analyses. Moreover, enhancement of the dynamic properties of the strengthened structure was demonstrated using modal analyses. The goal of this study was to improve the load-carrying capacity of the structure in order to comply with the current design codes.

The current study presents an investigation performed in order to diagnose building structural problems and propose strengthening and intervention measures. Significant geometrical inconsistencies are noted among the existing steel connections and failures have been recorded as a result of buckling in several beams and bracings during the service life of the athletic center. The spans are bridged via trusses and I-beams. It contains steel columns with varying cross section heights. It was initially used as a boat shelter and no design calculations were made. Building B has a steel superstructure that was constructed approximately 35 years ago.
