  STAAD Foundation Advanced

  STAAD Foundation Advanced is a Comprehensive Foundation Design Software. It enables an efficient foundation design and documentation using plant-specific design tools, multiple design codes with U.S. and metric bar sizes, design optimization, and automatic drawing generation. STAAD Foundation Advanced provides you with a streamlined workflow through its integration with STAAD.Pro or as a stand-alone application. You can design virtually any type of foundation, from basic to the most complex. 
  • Easily model complex or simple footings, such as plant foundations supporting vertical vessels, horizontal vessels, tanks and other footings
  • Quickly model common foundations such as isolated, combined, strip, pile caps, and many more 
  • Simplify challenging scenarios such as vibrating machine foundation, lateral analysis of piers, or mat design using FEA
  • Efficiently use your structural model with the foundation model through integration with STAAD.Pro, including automatically synced changes in both models
  
  
  

  STAAD Offshore

  STAAD.Offshore consists of a suite of pre and post processor modules to the STAAD.Pro Structural Analysis and Design Program. The program is made up of three modules:
  1. The WAVELOAD module calculates wave loads on structures using either STREAM function, STOKES 5th Order Theory, AIRY theory, or a user defined grid wave. The program generates a STAAD.Pro loading data for the stiffness analysis.
  2. The FATIGUE module is a deterministic fatigue program to calculate the fatigue lives of tubular joints.
  3. The TRANSPORT module calculates the inertia forces on a structure and generates the STAAD.Pro loading data for the stiffness analysis.

  There is also the option of carrying out design code checks to the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice for Planning, Designing and Constructing Fixed Offshore Platforms with the STAAD.Pro API code check module.

  
  
  

  SACS Offshore Structure

  RAM Connection

  RAM Connection, a Structural Design Software for Buildings, works the way an Engineer thinks. It can be deployed to easily produce high quality and economical designs for all your structural projects using various concrete, steel, and joist building materials. Design, analyze, and create documentation with ease for your building projects, saving time and money. Maximize your software investment with one fully integrated application suite offering complete building analysis, design, and drafting for both steel and concrete structures. Increase your productivity by eliminating tedious and time consuming tasks with RAM’s practical applications. Design anything from individual components to large-scale buildings and foundations.

  
  
  

  MicroStation

  Whether you need more productive 2D drawing software or better applications for 3D CAD design, speeding up drafting and modeling doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking. Instead, regain your competitive edge by utilizing the flexibility and power of BIM workflows without abandoning your familiar 2D drafting and CAD design skills. Save time and money by eliminating tedious, repetitive drawing workflows and, instead, collaborate reliably with any project participant, regardless what CAD file formats or CAD applications they use.

  As project requirements get more complex and the time to complete projects gets shorter, MicroStation helps you deliver your drawings and CAD models on time. Shrinking budgets, compressed delivery schedules, and ever-increasing project scales and complexity mean that you should expect more from your design software. MicroStation introduces smart, automated CAD workflows to accelerate productivity and your competitiveness.

  
  
  

  AutoPIPE

  AutoPIPE is a Piping and Vessel Design and Analysis Software. You can reduce the cost and time to produce compliant piping and vessel designs for any plant environment, including nuclear. Save time and reduce errors by importing piping models from common plant design applications to perform advanced pipe stress analysis. Deliver faster, safer, more cost effective vessel designs with automatic workflows that include complete global codes and applied loadings. Accelerate the delivery of compliant nuclear piping designs with comprehensive, nuclear-specific analysis and design code coverage.

  
  
  

  ProSteel

  ProSteel is a Steel and Fabrication Software. With ProSteel software you can efficiently create accurate 3D models for structural steel, metal work, and steel assemblies. You can then quickly generate design drawings, fabrication details, and schedules that automatically update whenever the 3D model changes. Additionally, detailed output to CNC machines automates the steel fabrication process. ProSteel fully supports your construction and planning tasks for structural steel and metal work in a 3D modeling environment. Working with AutoCAD or MicroStation, you get an intuitive and integrated multi-material modeler perfectly suited to layout complex structures, produce shop drawings, assemble all your connections, and manage your bills of materials.

  • Quickly extract 2D drawings that automatically update when the 3D model changes.
  • Easily exchange information with other disciplines thanks to interoperability with other Bentley and third-party applications.
  • Efficiently create parametric assembly modeling for common objects such as steel stairs, handrails, and ladders.
  • Rapidly investigate multiple scenarios to provide the most economical options to your client.
  
  
  

  ProConcrete

  ProConcrete is a Reinforced Concrete Modelling and Detailing Software. With ProConcrete software you can model reinforced concrete with any combination of reinforcing, as 3D parametric objects. Quickly create your placing drawings, fabrication details, bar bending schedules, and concrete quantity and material reports directly from your 3D model, which automatically updates to reflect model changes. You can reduce documentation production time, errors, and design flaws with our advanced 3D application for modeling, detailing, and scheduling of reinforced in situ/precast and post-tensioned concrete structures. With simple and easy-to-use tools for advanced 3D modeling of reinforced concrete structures you can:
  • Efficiently model any reinforced concrete shape to 100% accuracy with the as-built condition
  • Quickly extract 2D placing drawings that automatically update when the 3D model is changed
