Time: Sense, Space, Structure,

Tricalc is a complete and integrated software for the design of structures, from the structural model to the dimensioning, detailing and final fabrication of the structures. In each of the phases of the project, Tricalc presents functionalities that are very valuable for structural designers.Tricalc allows an integrated work process to be carried out, from the modeling of a structure, to the final construction and manufacturing plans of the structure. With its workflow, greater security is guaranteed, since all the information is related and linked to a single model. In this structural model, all the elements are calculated in an integrated way, regardless of their material, using a 2nd order P-Delta analysis and six degrees of freedom per node, which avoids simplifications that can be risky for the degree of safety that needed in projects. In this sense, the integrated calculation of all the structural elements carried out by Tricalc allows us to analyze how its elements interact with each other, and obtain the most realistic behavior possible of the structure as a whole, increasing the degree of knowledge of the behavior of the entire structure.

Welcome to another series of C9 Lectures covering functional programming. For this series, Dr. Ralf Lammel has generously taken the time to produce videos for Channel 9 from his office at the University of Koblenz-Landau (Germany), where he is a professor of computer science. The idea here is to take the next step from Erik Meijer's fantastic introductory series on functional programming. Accordingly, Ralf's series will dive into more advanced areas of functional programming, again focusing on the Haskell language (the functional concepts here span beyond any one functional language, however).
