History

• 
• 2021

• The evaluation database EvaDAT goes online.

• 2019

• Following the research project, the former project manager Dr.-Ing. Kirsten Stopp founds the company connectINGs GmbH, which develops the database EvaDAT with a new program code and a more user friendly design under the technical direction of M. Sc. Nils Müller.

• 2016

• To initialise this database, the chairman of the guidelines committee, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Harte from the department Statics and dynamics of structures at the University of Wuppertal can acquire the research project "Conception and development of a standardized evaluation database for software-based structural analysis according to VDI 6201 for the use of structural analysis and design software in BIM-based process chains" via the research initiative "Future Building". In the period from July 2016 to March 2019, under the project management of Dr.-Ing. Kirsten Stopp and with the support of 18 project partners, the database is created in the version of the research project.

• 2011

• In order to increase the quality of software-based analysis of ultimate limit state and analysis of serviceability state, the guideline committee VDI 6201 Software-based structural analysis is established in 2011. Parties from all areas of software production and application participate in the committee. Part 1 (Fundamentals, requirements, modeling, December 2015) and Part 2 (Verification examples, April 2019) are published. In addition to a declaration of commitment for software producers and users, the idea of an evaluation example database is born to provide users with a larger and continuously updated number of evaluation examples.
