Congreso celebrado en la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Sevilla desde el 24 hasta el 26 de junio de 2015.The appearance of the graphic computing has allowed to deal with analysis of two and threedimensional
structural continuum by means of mechanic models that have the capacity to understand
the simplest and more complex behaviors between local geometries that classic methodologies are
not able to describe.
This fact involves the re-adoption of the Elasticity Theory and the prominence of the stresses against
the comfortable view to simplify them along one of the geometry dimensions (e.g. one of the beam
edges) to convert them into strains. The Strength of Materials concepts and the vectorial calculus
might become outdated nowadays.
Moreover, the Finite Element Method used in this study allows facing structural geometries with
geometric and functional complexity. This would not be possible with classic methods without
introducing important simplifications
