AISC (ASD and LRFD), AASHTO and optional codes
such as ASCE 52 and several international codes
like BS5400, BS5950, French, German, Canadian,
Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Mexican (NTC), EC3 and
Scandinavian
- Design of HSS Sections

- Start your model without specifying any sizes!
- Design of tapered sections like I-beams and
hexagonal, dodecagonal and octagonal tubes
- Design cold-formed and aluminum sections with
full database library included
- AISC code check for members with cover plates

Canadian, Australian, French, German, European,
Japanese, Chinese, Indian, etc. Shapes include
I-Beams with or without cover plates, Channels,
Angles, Double Angles/Channels, Tees, Pipes
and Tubes
- User-specified Design
Parameters to customize design including profile,
deflection, story drift, depth, slenderness
ratios, etc.

V) with associated database of shapes
- Update to EC3 code to include design of Class
4 sections
- Composite deck object to graphically draw
the stud locations and also handle cambering
(pre-construction loading)
- Integration with DESCON now includes check
for bracing connections including Chevron, Knee,
and K- Braces as well as braces connected to
column base and Beam-Column joints where up
to four braces and two beams may exist
- Auto Calculation of Effective Length Factors of Members as per AISC

Concrete
Design
- Two-way slab design
to design irregular-shaped slabs. Full reinforcement
contour and reinforcement layout plans are created
- Rectangular concrete shear wall design (with
deep beam design) and automatically mesh an
existing wall and provide horizontal, vertical
and edge reinforcements based on axial, moments
and pressure loadings. Provide openings (doors
and windows) as well
- Automatic calculation
of cracked moment of inertia for concrete design
