Join the last webinar this year and get inspired by the perfectionist job the Germans engineers did planning and designing the local bus terminal.
Rosenheim bus station project of art
The roofing of the bus station is designed as a steel and glass construction. But the glass on the roof is a semi-transparent photovoltaic system transmitting enough light during the day and storing electricity for the lighting overnight as well as the overall electronic information system
Custom welded hollow cross-sections were used to form the bearing structure as well as serve for the cable routes and installations to fulfill the highest architectural requirements.

How to create a non-standard connection
We will revise the Leicht engineer's job. At the time, they built the connection model from scratch, using various "box" cross-section options for members and operations "stiffening plates" for custom connecting plates and inside stiffeners, "cut of plate" to shape and weld them, and "rib" to form stiffening easier way.
Today, you can take advantage of BIM links and import the detailed connection from your CAD program or geometry with load combinations from your FEA program.
