Abstract:
The climbing formwork equipment, typically represented by the hydraulic climbing formwork and integral steel platform formwork, plays an improtant role in the construction of super high-rise buildings. In view of the low efficiency problem of the modeling for computational analysis of the climbing formwork equipment, this paper introduces an interactive modeling method based on Midas/Gen mgt file and mgt command. Firstly, two conventional modeling methods are introduced for the computational analysis of climbing mold equipment. Then the interactive modeling method based on the mgt command and mgt file is introduced, emphasizing on analysis of the framework and format of the method. Lastly, the effectiveness of the method is verified through an actual super-high engineering application, which shows that this method can significantly improve the modeling efficiency and can be applied to fine calculation and analysis of the climbing formwork equipment.
