Entertainment Rigging Software With 3D Structural Analysis
A One-Of-A-Kind Tool
Braceworks® entertainment rigging software is an add-on module for Vectorworks Spotlight that provides design, production, and rigging professionals with an easy way to gauge the performance of temporary structures under load. By combining 3D structural analysis, design, and modeling software together, Braceworks helps ensure safety and compliance with engineering codes and standards, creating a completely integrated process in one interface.
Discover Peace of Mind
Regulatory requirements, such as the Eurocodes, and increasing requirements from venues, municipalities, and building owners, are making it necessary for event rigging, design, and A/V companies to produce load and structure calculations for sign off by structural engineers. Braceworks is the rigging and bracing structural analysis solution you can trust. It was originally developed in collaboration with DeerSoft GmbH, and is now solely developed by Vectorworks, Inc. with input from rigging professionals, venue operators, and event planning firms, so we're confident it will deliver the results you need.
