The DNA of Software Success.The software decisions you make today will shape your future profitability. Like DNA structural software is at the core of the modern structural engineering business, shaping projects, impacting on productivity and influencing your relationship with suppliers, partners and customers. The Eurocodes may be presenting you with challenges on retraining staff, adaptation of ongoing projects and integrating any new software with existing tools. However, CADS believe that the Eurocodes also offer a real chance to make software changes, adjust your business DNA by transforming project delivery and profitability as well as open potential new opportunities. CADS software will model, analyse, design and detail to British and Eurocodes. For this reason alone CADS software is the perfect bridge between codes, simplifying the transition of existing projects whilst helping users get fully up to speed. CADS software already integrates well with other software, including Revit Structure, but when it is used together as a suite it really comes into its own. For instance importing a Revit model, analysing it, designing material elements, then exporting it to an automatic detailing tool suddenly become an exciting reality. You can even model and analyse to other Eurocode country annexes, opening up the possibility of winning more work from further afield. Integration, connectivity, speed, ease of use and the automatic performance of tasks is the DNA at the heart of CADS software. We invite you to learn more and explore how putting CADS software at the core of your structural engineering projects will deliver real software success.
CADS have enabled the Eurocodes in our range of modelling, analysis, design and detailing products. Their interoperability make them the ideal choice for true 'round trip' modelling, analysis, design and detailing of concrete and steel structures. Upgrades are automatically available as part of CADScover. However if you have existing CADS software that is not covered or are new to CADS software you can also contact us using the form below to discuss how you can upgrade to the latest CADS Eurocode software releases. If change is upon you ensure it is the right kind of change.
CADS Eurocode Software Products
Modelling & Analysis: Scia Engineer
Scia Engineer is a 3D modelling solution for the analysis and design of steel, timber and reinforced concrete buildings, slabs, rafts and other elements thereof. Based on a powerful Finite Elements engine and with a real European pedigree, Scia Engineer already supports several Eurocode annexes, making it ideal for consultancies looking to take full advantage of European project opportunities.
Design: CADS RC and SW Designers CADS RC design products already support EC2 as well as British Standards. For instance jobs designed in RC Beam Designer, RC Column Designer, RC Pile Cap Designer and RC Pad Base Designer using Eurocode 2 (EC2) can then be imported into CADS RC for detailing to the same standard. The same also applies to jobs designed and detailed to EC3 using CADS SW Designers and CADS SW for detailing.
Detailing: CADS RC and CADS SW CADS RC and CADS SW enable detailing to British Standards as well as EC2 and EC3 respectively. CADS RC can automatically detail from Scia Engineer as well as linking to CADS RC Designers.
Templates: SMART Engineer SMART Engineer is the friendly calculation pad software for engineers for the design of Steel, Concrete, Masonry, Timber and Composite Beams. It features hundreds of calculation templates including several Eurocode templates for Concrete Beams, Columns and Slabs to EC2:2004 UK |

The primary objectives of the Eurocodes are to improve structural safety and to enhance the competitiveness of the European construction industry - and the professionals and industries connected with it, both within and outside the European Union.

Many myths and emotions have appeared around the Structural Eurocodes. In this study, CADS software partner Scia took a closer look at the issue. and surveyed 456 Eurpoean engineers, who accessed the Scia website between December 2006 and February 2007. The result is an in-depth view on Eurocodes and their positioning within an international context. |
