The
Users Group was a huge success, covering topics such as choosing the correct
type of analysis (trend analyses, comparative analyses etc), looking at the
different software packages available (COSMOS Xpress, Designer, Advanced
Professional etc) as well as trying out some real-life examples.

A quick puzzle: Seeing the LIGHT |
|
You are seated in front of a wall that you
cannot see around. On your wall are three light switches. On the other side of
the wall are three bulbs. Each switch operates one bulb, but you don't know
which switch is mapped to which bulb. You can turn each switch on and off as
many times as you wish, but you can go around the wall only once. How will you
determine the correct mapping?

Which load case to use? |
|
When designing a product or
structure how do you know what to use as the design load cases?
If working to worst case, how do
you establish what it is?
I wonder if the designer considered
this load case!

Solution to the puzzle:
Turn a switch on for five minutes.
Turn it off. Turn on another switch. Immediately go around the wall. The bulb
which was turned on first and turned off will be warm. The second bulb and
switch can be mapped as that one is lit. The third bulb and switch remain.
You've solved the mapping.
