VisualAnalysis

ConcreteBending can be used to create a VisualAnalysis project file (.vap) using the File | Export a VA Project feature. The .vap file can be used to look at the finite element model that was created behind the scenes in ConcreteBending or to perform more advanced analyses (such as a dynamic analysis) which are not supported in ConcreteBending. Note: VisualAnalysis is licensed separately by IES.  Contact Sales for additional information regarding this product.

VAConnect

ConcreteBending can export point loads to VAConnect for a steel-column base plate design. After defining all the loads, select the load point(s) in the Model & Loads view, and use the Boundary and Support | Export to VAConnect feature. Note: VAConnect is licensed separately.  Contact Sales for additional information regarding this product.
