3D Modeling & Visualization
Create complex structural models with our intuitive 3D interface. Real-time rendering lets you visualize your structure as you build, with instant feedback on geometry and connections.
- Supports datasheet and text file input, a structure wizard for standard designs, and generation of linear and curved structures.
- Includes rigid, sliding, pinned, elastic supports, semi-rigid joints, 3D member offsets, and tension/compression-only members for accurate modelling.
- Offers standard section, material, and connection libraries, as well as a shape builder for custom sections
Advanced Analysis
Comprehensive analysis capabilities for complex structural behavior and multi-storey design scenarios.
- Linear and non-linear analysis, displacement theories, load combinations, load case enveloping, and automatic stabilization of unrestrained nodes.
