In this constantly changing world, structures are becoming increasingly complex, cases of loading are more sophisticated, and threats such as blast and progressive collapse are more eminent. Recognizing these challenges, Applied Science International, LLC (ASI) is focused on creating tools for structural engineers and architects that will better design, organize and analyze structures. ASI produces develops and licenses several structural design and structural analysis software tools as well as offers structural engineering services that meet the exacting requirements of this changing world.
SteelSmart® Software: ASI’s SteelSmart® products provide cold-formed steel construction professionals with powerful tools to aid in the design, estimation, and construction of steel-framed projects. SteelSmart® System and SteelSmart® Deck each enable the user to optimize the framing products to be used during construction, thereby creating the potential for significant savings. SteelSmart® System and SteelSmart® Deck each are available as a FREE license.
Extreme Loading® Software: ASI’s Extreme Loading® products are the first line of software tools to implement the Applied Element Method (AEM) of analyzing structures. While older analysis method's such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) struggle with problems such as accurate meshing, automatic crack detection and automatic separation of elements AEM provides a simpler yet more advanced solution. ASI has developed two tools, one for Structural Engineers and the other for Visual Effects Professionals.
ASI Consultation Services: ASI relies on the experience of more than one hundred highly qualified engineers, scientists, and software developers armed with Extreme Loading® Technology to provide its clients with advanced structural analysis and simulation consultation services. ASI can perform both linear and non-linear analysis of structures undergoing either natural or man-made extreme loading events. ASI’s clients are able to see and experience the results of their decisions quickly and efficiently during the process of designing new structures or rehabilitating existing ones.
ASI empowers clients throughout North America, South America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East by providing the information needed to identify the effects of upgrades, retrofits and design enhancements on structural safety, economy and functionality under the effect of all expected cases of loading.
