Structural Modelling Analysis and Design
|
|

|
Structural Engineering design is now a computer based activity performed by professionals who require software applications they can use and trust. CADS develop and support a range of software products to suit the full range of design requirements; from designing a simple lintel with our 'calc-pad' software SMART Engineer through to dynamic analysis of large complex mixed RC & Steelwork structures modelled with our SMART Modeller using finite elements. |
| CADS software provides comprehensive support for Plastic, P-Delta (incl. "Lambda crit"), non-linear and dynamic analysis for use where appropriate. Some specialised products such as our SMART Portal automatically perform plastic design. |

BS5950-1:2000 steelwork design & checking for beams, columns, composite beams & connections is provided. Steel members can be designed in groups so that a single section is allocated based upon the critical member within that group. Completed designs may be detailed automatically in AutoCAD via links to CADS SW (2D), Advance Steel (3D) or via DXF to plain AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT. |
| CADS provides powerful BS8110 reinforced concrete design modules to produce practical bar arrangements in beams, columns, slabs, bases & pilecaps. Completed designs can be detailed & scheduled in seconds via a link to CADS RC detailing software or in basic AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT via DXF. |

AutoCAD Drawings, such as floor plans, sections, details, 3D images, etc. can be created automatically from analysis models. |
