Aplicación web para el análisis y diseño de estructuras

Abstract

"Cloud computing" describes an innovative use of computing resources that are delivered as a service over a network, typically Internet. Today, structure analysis that requires high performance calculation has not been fully "migrated" to the Internet environment, structural software is usually developed as a desktop program against the current trend of the computer market. In this paper, the architecture of a structural analysis web application will be presented. This application, which would be a package of web services as SaaS (Software as a Service), will consist of 4 modules: a 3D modeler, a structural analysis solver, a structural design solver and a graphic documentation render. Also, current tools to develop this service as cloud application will be presented. Finally, a preliminary version of the CAD module, which generates graphical output as DXF format, is developed.
