The Lightweight High-Performance Steel Structure 3D Modeling Design System is a significant achievement and technological breakthrough in the digital transformation of structural engineering. It integrates advanced algorithms and digital tools to create an intelligent technology platform for the entire process of structural design and manufacturing. Aimed at enhancing structural performance and reducing material consumption, it combines 3D modeling, topology optimization, and multi-physics simulation to achieve intelligent optimization and precision control from conceptual design and stress analysis to construction drawing output.
The system automatically analyzes structural stress states, intelligently generating optimal cross-sectional shapes, connection methods, and support forms. While ensuring safety, it significantly reduces steel usage, enhancing structural strength and seismic resistance. It also simulates complex conditions such as fatigue, vibration, and wind loads, preemptively identifying potential issues to improve design reliability.
Compared to traditional methods, this system boosts design efficiency by over 30%, achieves a drawing accuracy of ±0.5mm, reduces structural self-weight by over 40%, and improves material utilization by 45%. Steel structures produced by this system have been successfully applied in iconic projects, including complex curved grid structures for large power plants, world-class airports, and major sports stadiums. Steel consumption is controlled below 85kg/m², nodal fatigue life is tripled compared to traditional structures, maximum deformation does not exceed 1/400 of the span, and the structures are 100% recyclable. While optimizing structural performance, the system drives the construction industry toward green, intelligent, and low-carbon development.
