SP LIRA 10.4 is a new chapter in evolution of software package that combines steady quality and convenience of SP LIRA 10.x with the latest programming methods and techniques. Given version intended for making the work with SP LIRA even simpler and effective and that's why developers are sure that all users will appreciate the whole variety of SP LIRA 10.4 features.

SP LIRA 10.4 main innovations

Bridge

"Bridge" system is reborn in SP LIRA 10.4. intuitiveness of input data setting was improved, solution accuracy was drastically increased (factoring in track gauge of moving load ), graphical analysis and results documentation features were added. "Bridge" system is used for structures analysis for the following moving loads: 
- wheeled transport loads; 
- pedestrians loads; 
- oversized wheeled vehicles loads; 
- metro and tram rolling stock loads.

Soil

"Soil" system is designed for automatic evaluation of variable in plan bedding values under foundation slab. In SP LIRA 10.4, besides graphical interface improvements, bedding values evaluation time was dractically reduced due to processor's multithreading usage.

Variation of models

There was added a new feature of uniting obtained internal forces and displacements received upon loadings in different problem cases with further DCF and DCL calculation. Given opportunity allows adequate evaluation of specific load combinations.

Pushover Analysis (nonlinear static method)

Allows to evaluate structure behavior under seismic actions beyond elastic limit. This method connects bearing capacity, given as relationship between displacement of top of the structure and shear force in foundation, and seismic requirement given as a response spectrum. Intersection point of bearing capacity curve and response spectrum curve - dynamic equilibrium - is evaluated and it's used for evaluation of expected behavior of the structure. 

Finite elements with intermediate nodes on sides/edges

There were implemented new finite elements with intermediate nodes that allows to obtain greater problem solution accuracy compared to similar elements without intermediate nodes with equal number of variables.
The following linear, physically nonlinear and geometrically nonlinear FE were implemented:
- triangular and rectangular FE of beam-wall, shell and membrane;
- tetrahedron, triangular prism and quadrangular prism of 3D problem.

Reinforced concrete structures

There was added the feature for designed reinforcement checking across the whole model (utilization percentages according to various checkings are evaluated)
Option for reinforcement design and checking in accordance to ACI 318-11 (USA) was added. Punching shear calculation for slabs caused by columns with arbitrary cross section was implemented.

Graphics system

During formation of design scheme using architectural elements there was added assignment option for restraints, hinges, rigid inserts, etc. Formed model may be passed for calculation while finite element model will be formed automatically.
There was implemented interactive performance of computational processor that allows to quickly find and correct design model errors, that are detected during calculation process.
Besides that, dozens of other functions for design model creation as well as calculation results analysis were employed.

- braided rope.
Option of I-beam database employment during T-beam assignment was added.

Connection with other CAD and documentation systems

- Autodesk Revit Structure and SP LIRA 10.4 combined work allows to use Revit Structure analytical model as SP LIRA 10.4 design model for evaluation of design solutions reliability with followed by calculation results export into Revit Structure analytical model (e.g. calculation results of reinforcement design)
- Opportunity for synchronization between Revit Structure analytical model and its derived SP LIRA 10.4 design model allows to reduce total time spending for engineering design.
- Autoconversion of Revit Structure model into SP LIRA 10.4 model allows to avoid possible errors occurring, that are common for model creation based on blueprints, so reliability of design solutions evaluation is increasing.


Interaction between Autodesk AutoCAD and SP LIRA 10.4 is realized via "Import from *.dxf", "Floor plans import from *.dxf" and "Export to *.dxf" commands.

"Import from *.dxf" allows to import readymade finite element model saved as .dxf file into SP LIRA 10.4.

"Floor plans import from *.dxf" gives the opportunity for floor plans import into LIRA 10.4 architectural elements followed by its triangulation by LIRA's tools.

"Export to *.dxf" allows export from LIRA 10.4 to .dxf file of not only design model initial geometry but also deformed model, deformation, internal forces and stresses mosaics and isofields, etc.

Interaction with other graphics and analysis systems is based on the following file formats:
*.msh; *.stl; *.obj; *.mesh; *.off; *.poly; *.dxf; *.igs; *.3ds; *.neu; *.byu; *.ifc

Interaction with other documentation systems is based on the following file formats:
*.docx; *.xlsx; *.pptx; *.html; *.bmp; *.gif; *.png; *.jpeg; *.tiff; *.avi
which allows to easily perform data exchange with the majority of engineering and graphics systems.

Main innovations in SP LIRA 10.4 R4.0

  • Added export of architectural model to ifc format, which leads to two-way interaction with Tekla Structures.

Bending torsion may have a significant influence on steel thin-walled bars of open profile, such as I-beam (symmetrical or asymmetrical) and channel bar. Bending torsion comes with bending of certain parts of cross section. For example, horizontal bend of each flange in opposite directions takes place during torsion of I-beams (with vertical web and horizontal flanges). Two oppositely directed bending moments form flexural-torsional bimoment, and its value defines bending torsion.
