Natural frequency and mode shapes analysis. WinSCADS Interface with Other Systems. The Design Process. WinSCADS General Overview (Cont.) 1970s – DuPont FRAME Program. 1980s – SCADS - VAX system using CRAY NASTRAN for analysis.. 1990s – PC-SCADS, a DOS version (GT-STRUDL, PD-STRUDL, and STAAD). 1998 – WinSCADS - Windows-based version was released (Microstation-based graphics for model display). 2004 to date – User interface has been redeveloped to utilize OpenGL for graphics and to improve user interaction with the system. WinSCADS General Overview (Cont.) Hundreds of DuPont buildings have been designed by the system?and?the data has been saved on our CES server. When modifications or additions?are made to buildings, we are able to utilize the existing models since compatibilities have been maintained over the years May build the “same” Facility at another US site or overseas. Design loads may change (wind or seismic) WinSCADS General Overview WinSCADS utilizes GT STRUDL for the structural analysis tasks of the system. As structural steel model evolves the information is uploaded as necessary to the 3D Plant Design system (PDMS). Final design mod
