El Máster en Análisis y Software de Cálculo de Estructuras es una especialización para profesionales de ingeniería y arquitectura técnica que buscan actualizar sus conocimientos en software de cálculo y adaptarse a las metodologías BIM, dominando las herramientas computacionales avanzadas para el diseño y verificación de elementos estructurales. Este programa te introduce al estudio profundo de los tipos de estructuras y sus conexiones, abordando el análisis tensional, las acciones y esfuerzos que las afectan. Profundizarás en conceptos críticos como la flexión, el cortante y el pandeo, aplicando estos fundamentos a escenarios complejos de obra civil y edificación. A través de este máster, no solo refrescarás y consolidarás tus conocimientos sobre el cálculo de estructuras manual, sino que también adquirirás una destreza avanzada en el manejo de software específico, tanto de tipo matricial como de elementos finitos. Esta dualidad te permitirá resolver desafíos estructurales con precisión, optimizando proyectos y adaptándote a las exigencias de la digitalización y las metodologías BIM. Explorarás las cimentaciones superficiales, comprendiendo la dinámica de fluidos en materiales porosos, el estudio de las tensiones efectivas y las presiones intersticiales. Dominarás los principios de la mecánica de suelos, la estabilidad estructural y la correcta aplicación de materiales e hipótesis de carga. Este enfoque integral te prepara para liderar proyectos con una visión estratégica y técnica, potenciando tu capacidad en el diseño estructural computacional.
