AUTOMATED DESIGN AND RESEARCH SYSTEM OF WOODEN STRUCTURES WITH METAL GEAR PLATES
The problems of computer-aided design of wooden trusses with metal gear plates are considered. A new approach to design systems building of trusses and nodal solutions, allowing calculations to the most commonly used designs, is suggested. Components of the online help and user activity monitoring are implemented: scrolling text messages and a window of dynamic hints. Ready product has been tested. The system is intended for designers of structures, and can also be used in the educational process.
