The structural engineering is an essential component of Architecture. The creativity and imagination of an architect come to reality by adopting a suitable structural system.Architects should understand the basic principles and concepts of structure in order to apply the structural system suitably. It is also needed for an Architect to communicate effectively with consultants and contractors about the conceived structural system. The course is designed to explain structural concepts clearly, using analogies and examples. The mathematical part of the course is formulated to establish a logical understanding of structural behaviour, bypassing the complexity of calculations. This course is designed in eight weeks and the whole course is divided into two components. Initially, in the first four weeks, the fundamental aspects of structural theories will be discussed. It will include the following four subtopics: statics and structural systems, the strength of material, structural mechanics and structural analysis. In the second part of the course (remaining four weeks), various types of structural systems like a truss, space frame, plates, shell, tensile structure etc will be discussed. The conceptual development of the structural system will be explained with examples, case studies and possible architectural applications. The special structural system adopted for high-rise buildings will be also present with the examples from contemporary architecture. The last module will include the Bureau of Indian Stranded provisions for structural detailing for project submissions. The key features of the course: The course is specially designed for the students of architecture for developing their basic structural concept without difficulty. The lectures will explain structural concepts clearly, using real-life examples and illustrations. The course demonstration will express the mathematical aspects of thesubject in a straightforward, easier and logical way. · The structural theories will be discussed in conceptual way with minimum mathematical computation. The prime focus will be to understand the structural system, its advantages and application in architectural design.INTENDED AUDIENCE:ArchitecturePREREQUISITES:No Pre-requisitesINDUSTRIES SUPPORT:Not Applicable
Leverage your experience with AutoCAD while migrating to Autodesk Inventor's specialized toolset for mechanical design, engineering, and manufacturing.AutoCAD users around the world are adopting Autodesk Inventor, the purpose-built tool for mechanical design, engineering, and manufacturing. While they're both Autodesk products, Inventor has different tools, terminology, and workflows than AutoCAD, which can make migration challenging. This course explores the key elements of Inventor that every experienced AutoCAD user needs to start moving their projects and design processes over to Inventor. Author Thom Tremblay explores 2D drawing and 3D modeling, as well as options for collaborating with AutoCAD users while using Inventor and leveraging your existing AutoCAD data in Inventor.

Learn to tightly synchronize your video and animation to your audio—be it music or speech.Want to raise the impact of your edits and animations? One of the secrets is to tightly synchronize them to your audioâbe it music or speech. If you cut video to follow major events in the soundtrack, or use audio to drive animation with the help of keyframe assistants, expressions, and effects, you can create a more compelling cinematic experience.In this course, Chris Meyer teaches you how to "read" an audio waveform to spot the most interesting points to animate to, and then presents a variety of ideas for cutting video and animating movements to match your soundtrack. This includes timing transitions, making staccato cuts, matching the frame rate to the tempo, wiggling in time, expressing animations to sound, motion sketching to music, and more. Although these tricks will be demonstrated inside Adobe After Effects, the techniques themselves are applicable to virtually any editing or animation package.This course was created and produced by Chris and Trish Meyer. We are honored to host this content in our library.
