Design and detail seismic force-resisting systems, generating seismic loads according to the relevant building code. Consider these forces in the design of elements and, where applicable, the design of frames and the larger structural system. Enforce the ductility requirements of the selected design code in element proportioning and detailing.

Optimize or analyze beams, columns, and walls for gravity and lateral loads to quickly obtain safe and economical designs. Confidently produce designs in compliance with global design specifications and building codes.

Quickly model your entire structure, including decks, slabs, slab edges and openings, beams, columns, walls, braces, spread and continuous footings, and pile caps. Efficiently automate many of your time-consuming design and analysis tasks and produce practical system and component designs that are document ready.

Control concrete beam, wall, and column designs including L, T, and C shapes. Create and check irregular bar layouts including stirrups and links using a broad range of material and design properties. Account for continuity in column stacks and beam lines when determining appropriate reinforcing layout.

Extend the reach of your business practice and take advantage of global design opportunities by using a wide range of international standards and specifications in our design products. Complete your designs with confidence thanks to extensive support of international standards.

Model your floor based structures including slabs, openings, beams, and columns with the optional floor planner for efficient modeling.

Gain critical insight into concrete design alternatives with comprehensive material takeoffs and cost estimation, organized by material, size and shape. Estimate formwork area and costs upfront.

Transfer structural model geometry and design results from one application to another and synchronize changes over time. Quickly share the structural model, drawings, and information with the entire team for review.

Generate structural design documents including necessary plans and elevations that are used to convey the design intent. Changes made to the 3D model are automatically updated in the documentation.
