Microsoft .NET Open-Source AISI S100-16 Package

Emerging Technologies

An effort is underway to develop Microsoft .NET open-source software representations of cold-formed steel codes and standards. The packages are written in the building construction industry favorite C# programming language and they are now becoming available for any person or company around the world who is developing cold-formed steel design software.

In this presentation we will focus on a new version of AISI S240 that is ‘machine-readable’ and defines classes and methods for each equation and table. A software developer can conveniently call this package and use its methods or functions. Optimized for production, the output of each function call contains direct references to the AISI S240 resource used. Thorough unit testing is provided to give confidence and demonstrate accuracy. Updates and revisions can be easily implemented and distributed with git version control.

Providing machine-readable versions of codes and standards should be a top priority for governing code bodies and industries like cold-formed steel framing to support the growing demand for design and analysis automation. Fast, reliable, accessible software drives market opportunity. This presentation will provide a high-level summary of the software package and show some implementation examples. https://github.com/runtosolve/AISI.S240.DotNet
