Ehm I am no sir, just some dude.. To answer your question, let me put it this way, Orion is what you learn as a beginner; it is a pretty decent software for basic RCD. but you dont want to be a beginner, you wouldnt also be employed to design basic structures only, and you likely would be doing STEEL too. so yeah, you would need to get your teeth into ROBOT, SAP2000, STAAD PRO etc. By the way Orion takes no effort to learn,requires very little structural and modelling knowledge to even use it when you compare it to the world that stuffs like ROBOT would throw you into. I figure when you need to switch, you would find it daunting cos you would be so used to simplistic Orion.

My biggest problem with Orion is that it shoves you from the actual structural concepts that your competence depends on and doesn't do much either. When you move to an analysis software, be it robot, sap2000 etc. like you would have to, you would find yourself asking do i apply a release here? what directions should this be released in? what load combination? do i consider out of plane buckling for this? you know all the structural concepts and criteria that you'd have to deal with on a project, would stare you in the face and Orion cant help you out.

Also when it comes to features, Orion is a very poor choice. ROBOT has a CFD based wind simulator that allows you get a more accurate wind load than conventional method would, you also have FEA, interoperability etc. I would rather ask one to learn tekla structural designer than orion. oops by the way CSC the developer of Orion, sold out to Tekla, so orion is dead now, what you have now is Tekla Structural Designer.

Horlamidei:
How?

Horlamidei:
Me too.......i only know how to use AutoCAD.......so sad of me!

micxwell:
You are so on point bro. I use to be one who uses CSC ORION. First I discovered that you'll lack behind on so many things you need to know as a design Engineer. Orion is shallow. I fell in love with SAP 2000 and ETABS. Ever since I started learning them, I feel like using hand calculations on many occasions, but EXCEL helps there though. Orion makes one lazy and shallow.

IT made Zero sense to me, i am not a soccer fan but i watched the last two Nigerian matches and i loved the second one ...explain please ?

Germany 2- 1 Sweden

Match was as dramatic as APC Convention

So much pressure and Boateng was sent off like Imo party Chairman.

Apparently, Ruling Germany is still struggling to survive like APC. #NFFCShow

Messi will also get a hat trick in today's game.

Jeezuzpick:
How about age?

When was it constructed?

How has it been maintained?

Were the abutments (ground touching and bordering it) well protected from erosion?

I was passing that road to school 30years ago.
That bridge (box culvert, actually) was there even then.

If it was any of the issues you listed, that structure should have collapsed since 1990.

mfm04622:
It is really lack of maintenance. Erosion washed away the support of the bridge and no maintenance was done till the bridge collapsed. May also be due to activities of sand miners.

2016easy2017:
against the constitution as
-religion intolerance
-dis-creating others believe which could lead to violence and lost of lives. just as in Russia
contradicting his own belief (or did jesus or bibble instruct ou to do that or not to)
showing hatred for some who are same Nigerians

obonujoker:
These atheist are funny.... what is so difficult for God to do??

A being that created a wonderful creation such as man, that man itself has to copy God's creation (robots, engines etc)...

A being that ressurected a soul...

So what's Jonah fish to him??

Those of you conversant with African Religion and practices, is there emphasis on Love for Man and Neighbour-not romantic love between lovers-as we see in other Major world religions

Add some muscles

“Go and tell the people of the great achievements recorded by the APC Government. Your government is on the right course. A firm foundation has been laid for the development of Nigeria. In spite of lean resources, the APC has achieved much more in three years. Get acquainted with the achievements put together in a document which I will make available to you. Tell Nigerians the achievements of your government.

HardMirror:
Getting a child is a big issue in Nigeria, and it is not uncommon to see christians most especially make a big deal of this issue.

Many christian families have been rescued through IVF and somehow they are most of the times not proud of it. They dont admit when giving testimonies in church that they had IVF to be able to conceive. Why is it that christians seem shy about talking about IVF? Do they feel God disapprove of it?
If so, why do they still do it?

Considering that it is natural for christians to pray for the fruit of the womb, do you think it is lack of faith to go through the IVF procedure?

Matured comments please
