A3D MAX

(Code:A3D MAX)

A3D MAX provides a powerful and flexible Analysis package for 2D or 3D, Elastic/Plastic/P-Delta Analysis and can solve any size job with no limit on the number of members or load combinations.
Rapid 2D & 3D building modelling - a comprehensive selection of building frame generators and input/editing tools means that members, floors, wall and foundation objects can be created simply and quickly in just a few minutes. Fast Changes & revisions - structural elements can be mirrored, copied and pasted easily to speed up modelling and exploit symmetry and repetition. All associated model data i.e. geometry, loading, analysis, design, material quantities, etc. are updated automatically.
Panel Objects - provides powerful Panel Objects to assist with modelling floors, vertical walls and inclined surfaces such as a roof. Panel objects can have 2-way or 1-way spanning, solid or ribbed properties.
BS5950 Steelwork design - provides integrated BS5950-1:2000 design & checking for beams, columns, composite beams & connections. Elements 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), AdvanceSteel (3D) or via DXF to plain AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT. BS8110 Reinforced Concrete design - links to CADS powerful 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.
