11 C O M P U T E R C O N T R O L S Y S T E M S CCS has many years of experience in the domain of steel and composite bridges,generated from numerous design studies delivered by the Design Office team and the development of special software applications for specific bridge engineering tasks. The systematic collaboration with the French organizations SNCF and SETRA (Service d'etudes Techniques de Routes et Autoroutes), has assisted CCS to acquire a broad expertise in various aspects of the design of railway, road bridges and footbridges. The expansion of high speed railways in Europe was an opportunity to participate in numerous dedicated analysis projects such as the dynamic interaction between the bridge structure and train cars during high speed train access. Bridge design services (calculations and drawings), is a major activity of the Design Office team, with an emphasis on steel and composite bridges. Our expertise includes studies of bridges with exceptional specifications (architectural or structural), where advanced FEA computations were necessary. 11

12 Software Products Structural analysis and design for steel structures, according to Eurocode 3. Software for the design οf steel connections according to AISC and EC3 Analysis and design of multistory composite buildings according to Eurocodes.

13 C O M P U T E R C O N T R O L S Y S T E M S Our portfolio of software products includes leading solutions for designing, drawing, detailing, and fabricating of structural steel and composite structures. Hundreds of structural engineers, design offices, contractors, steel suppliers and fabricators have chosen to rely on our systems and services in order to achieve superior productivity and competitiveness. With over 25 years of experience in steel and composite constructions, we are very proud of the high level of expertise we have acquired. Our software has been used in the construction of thousands of projects and is renowned for the accuracy of its calculations and the rigorous application of French or European standards. Some of the most prestigious works, which were built during the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, have been studied using our software, as was a large number of bridges for the new TGV lines in France. We have also implemented comprehensive IT solutions for the study of metal structures covering all stages of the process, from conception to production drawings and CNC machine data files. Designing the future - CCS Cloud Solutions Cloud computing is now evolving like never before, with companies of all shapes and sizes adapting to this new technology. Industry experts believe that this trend will only continue to grow and develop even further in the coming few years. Cloud solutions is probably the most cost efficient method to use, maintain and upgrade. Traditional desktop software costs a lot in terms of finance. Adding up the licensing fees for multiple users can prove to be very expensive for the establishment concerned. The cloud, on the other hand, is available at much cheaper rates and hence, can significantly lower the clients expenses. Besides, there are many one-time-payment, pay-as-you-go and other scalable options available, which makes it very reasonable for the clients. Mixte Design CS for the pre-design of road and railway composite bridges and STEEL Connections Design CS for the connections design according to EC and AISC are now offered by CCS as cloud solutions. CCS offers customers the ease of release of computational resources required to accomplish their work. Users can design their models, using CCS freely provided software and pay only for the solving time required. Jobs and projects are uploaded to the cloud solving service were CCS solvers take over and produce results. The user is able to download and see the results from each job/project in any place that an internet connection is available. 13
