Job Description

Introduction

The construction industry is being digitalized. Entire structures can now be built using a digital model as an exact basis. This means that a significant amount of information must be extractable from the building model, which places high demands on it being complete and error-free. To facilitate the work for the designer, new tools are required to automate and streamline the process. Development is needed in areas such as calculation, reporting, and quality assurance, as well as the connections between them.

AFRY has previously developed parametric models for both global structures such as steel halls and stabilizing towers, as well as isolated constructions like pile foundations. These models have streamlined the construction work and contributed to higher quality in BIM and calculation models. The proposed thesis work will continue this effort.

Subject

There is great potential in automating and parametric modeling of pile foundations in both calculation and reporting, as today's tools often have limitations or require a large amount of manual input. Especially in early stages, the time savings can be significant.

The thesis work includes the following:
1. Review of previous studies and development work within AFRY.
2. Development of an algorithm for calculation, dimensioning, and modeling of pile foundations.
3. Development of an application connected to the Tekla API.
4. Testing and implementation of the software.
5. Comparison with traditional methods.

Purpose and Objectives

To develop a complete application for calculation, dimensioning, and modeling of pile foundations to streamline their construction and reporting.

Qualifications

You are expected to have completed a Master's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field with a focus on structural engineering. For this thesis work, you also need to have basic knowledge of programming and/or a strong interest in learning more about software development. The thesis work will be conducted from AFRY's office in Stockholm, preferably in a group of two.
