Patent number: 11960803Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modeling and analyzing utility structures according to applied loads. Particularly, a model engine can utilize inputs related to a utility structure, environmental conditions to which the utility structure is subjected, and engineering standards expected of the utility structure, and analyze the structure's loading and performance based on analysis configuration inputs. An engine or multiple engines can be run locally, or can be instantiated in a cloud to assist with multiple or complex calculations. Hybrid and geometric non-linear analyses and outputs can be performed or provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Bentley Systems, IncorporatedInventors: William Schulze, Brett Willitt, David Cain, Michael H.
