Webinar: Automation and Customisation with LUSAS

  • All operations carried out in the LUSAS interface can be controlled by a range of programming languages. You can create code directly or use LUSAS to create VB scripts through the recording of interface operations (macro record). These operations can also be called by external applications through the LUSAS Programmable Interface (LPI). This means that you can view and edit a recorded session, parameterise those commands, turn them into sub-routines, add loops and other functions to the scripts and create your own utilities, or even create a totally different application or program - using the proven core technology of LUSAS.

Example Script

Moving Vertical Pedestrian Loading to BS EN 1991-2 2003 (Eurocode) (V15) 


Example Script

Incrementally launched bridge

  • Creates a base model for incremental launching of a box girder bridge. The analysis method of moving supports is adopted. The repetitive process of assigning supports and loads, and activating segments of deck, is automated. A further automation script is provided in the zip file. This places the reactions in a spreadsheet arranged by loadcase and by pier.
