ADAPT-MAT 2012 Highlights
August, 2012: This latest release of ADAPT-MAT is packed with performance accelerators and new multilevel modeling functionality. Highlights include:

• 50% faster meshing, analysis and design leveraging multi-core processing

• Multilevel model can be analyzed with Edge for quick and easy load takedown

• New and easier method of entering lateral loads in multilevel model

• New tendon property manager showing profile and force along tendon

• Improved component visibility controls

• MAT foundations for steel or concrete buildings

• Pile supported foundations (pile caps)

• Spread footings

• Grade beams

• Tower foundations (transmission or wind turbine)

• Tank foundations

• Industrial (Machinery foundations)

• Generates a true 3D solid physical model of an entire foundation system or complete concrete building

  • No simplification of geometry or manual creation of analytic model required

  • Uses smart components to assemble an entire foundation system: mat (raft) slab regions, grade beams, spread footings, piles, pile caps, walls, beams, columns, rebar, tendons and openings

  • Models steps above and below the slab as well as any type of slab depression

• Streamline modeling process by importing DWG/DXF files and intelligently converting to structural components

• One-click switches between single- and multi-level modeling modes

• Coordinated multi-level modeling saves time and reduces errors when taking down loads

• Foundation and building models for a project can be in one model file

• Flexible definition of component releases and boundary conditions

• Handles complex models with ease and accuracy

• Foundation elements can be supported by soil springs, discrete springs, line springs, point supports or line supports

• Model can have regions with different soil characteristics

• Define tension and compression or compression only soil behavior

• View and examine 3D rendered solid model to verify the accuracy of the structure's representation

• Apply loads of any configuration, anywhere on the foundation elements

• Supports live load patterning and automatically reduced live loads, where applicable

• When used with Edge, building gravity and lateral loads are automatically applied to ground floor columns and walls 

• Uses integrated tendon modeling as opposed to "balanced loading". This overcomes many of the approximations and shortcomings inherent in the conventional modeling of post-tensioning.
