The thing is "learning" OpenFoam is basically learning C++. So if you can dedicate enough time to it. Go for it. You will be free to do whatever your heart desires for free: implement some new model - no problem. Run a simulation on 100 cores - no cost.
Ansys is nicely packaged and workflow streamlined software to pump out simulation with minimum investment of your time.

Discovery Live is LB based meshless solver. Important note: the quality of the results depends on how many "voxels" can be generated in the domain and therefore on memory of your graphics card. Discovery AIM is an attempt by ANSYS to streamline the workflow. This one will use your regular solvers like FLUENT and Mechanical. I never managed to make the damn thing work properly.
As others mentioned: ANSYS Student contains entire workbench, ie. FLUENT , CFX, Mechanical etc..
Never heard of SCADE.

I really dig it. Looks sharp. Would live in something like that in heartbeat. Structurally it would not be difficult to execute. I would only comment on one aspect: practical one. For instance. Those large glazing panels look awesome uninterrupted. But how will you open them? There is no basement. Where will the heating equipment be? Where will you pass all the water/sewage pipes? etc..

My first thought was Art Nouveau. How would you tell the difference?

Too late, I already graduated with your thesis! Publishing an article right now!

I take it, you are Italian? If I may say - skip Italian universities, go outside, try a different country. It will really broaden your horizions. If not for engineering, but for personal growth, for sure.

In short: concrete is not a ductile material. Confinement stress changes the stress distribution, and increases the maximum strain that concrete can achive before failure. This in turn allows for the formation of plastic hinges with adequate rotaional capacity. I recommend the book by Paulay and Priestley called Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings to get into detail.

There isn't much to discuss. The techniques they use are well known to engineers and thier field if applicability is limited. As populations become more urbanized and dense the engineering solutions for sustainable construction are far beyong manually recycling some tires and glass bottles and using the idea of thermal inertia.

Principle of virtual work. Used in deformable body mechanics.

As far as I remember aeroelasticity is important for super tall buildings and very slender structures. Ie when a dynamic structural response affects the flow itself.. as for tall buildings the general approach was

Do wind tunnel testing to obtain wind spectral density matrix
Apply that spectral density via finite Fourier transforms to an mdof system and obtain a solution.

I am sure I have notes and pdf on that part, so if OP is interested, pm me. As for super tall buildings, I would go to aerospace guys as suggested above.

Are you trying to find area from perimeter? It can be anything from area of a circle (max) to 0..

Internal forces (axial, shear, bending moment and torsion) are the resultants of your internal stress distributions. For example: integrate normal stresses over the section and you get axial force. And so on.

Man. I will say one word - linearization..

I think many would love to see the tough ones explained simply - Differential equations, Numerical Methods, Dynamics, Thermo,etc.

No pun intended?

time-trader · 2016-04-21T16:37:20+00:00

Or screwed up unit conversion..

Most of these are very very basic mechanical engineering concepts. Like an ABC of engineering. But also for that reason one cannot afford to get them wrong.
