Abstract

SAFESA is a 3 year DTI supported collaborative project directed at formalising the process of applying numerical tools to structural qualification, bringing out explicitly the decisions made in problem idealisation before application of the tools. Examination of current 'Best Practice' in structural analysis suggests that experience is in fact one of the techniques most commonly used for controlling error in the application of numerical tools. In this paper the application of a case-based approach to providing support for the use of high-level, general experience is presented, and illustrated by an example. This example is followed through to lower level and the type of structure required to support experience application at his level is suggested.
