Case Studies - Customisation and Automation using Scripting

LUSAS is used by engineers worldwide for all types of structural design. 

These case studies all made use of scripting to either customise or automating the modelling process. Country flags relate to the project's location.


Taiwan High Speed Railway
  • Pile-soil interaction modelling and automated model building for multi-modal spectral response analysis of viaduct structures

"The versatility of LUSAS Bridge coupled with the technical expertise within our Group helped produce an economical design for the extreme seismic performance criteria of the Taiwan project with its demanding programme and construction constraints."

Kandiah Kuhendran, Project Design Manager, FaberMaunsell


London Olympic Stadium Roof

  • Independent modelling and checking of the various stages involved in the deconstruction of the original cable net roof of the London Olympic Stadium and subsequent construction of a new long-span replacement for what is now called the London Stadium.

"The use of LUSAS VB Scripting techniques to customise the software and to automate the extensive modelling and checking procedures required, allowed us to save a great deal of time and ultimately confirm the adequacy of the structural members which formed the permanent works and global stability of the structure under the applied loads."

Dr Ahad Kolahi, Project Manager, LUSAS


Emirates Air Line (London Cable Car)

  • Modelling and analysis of the main towers of the UK's first urban cable car to enable a Category 3 design check to be carried out to Eurocodes.

"The use and assistance of LUSAS in conjunction with our own substantial in-house expertise allowed us to carry out a  challenging Category 3 design check on a very unusual structure within a very tight timescale"

James Rowe, Technical Director, URS


Design and analysis of Gota Tunnel

  • 3D modelling of large, complex box tunnel structure with customised scripting to automate the results processing operations
"...the main benefit in using LUSAS for this project was to be able to take into account the complex geometry of the structure and to get all of the results we required from the one model."

Mathias Uhlán, Skanska Teknik AB


Quantum Cloud" - a sculpture by Antony Gormley

  • Linear and nonlinear analysis of an organically grown sculpture

"Quantum Cloud is a project that can only be realised with digital design systems and I am very fortunate to have collaborated with energetic and ground-breaking engineers.  The result, a combination of art and technology, will be a monument to the future, expressing the potential of the human being at the end of the twentieth century."

Antony Gormley
