Automatic Design

•Analysis and design of simply supported composite beams

•Design of primary, secondary and combined primary-secondary beams

•Define a basic transverse reinforcement mesh, and allow the auto design to determine additional where needed

•Control automatic sizing through section size limits, stud spacing limits and transverse reinforcement limits

•Automatic Design of optimum section size, shear stud and transverse reinforcement combination

•Auto design & sizing of built-up I-sections with user control over section and plate aspect ratio

Advanced Design Features

•Incorporates up to date guidance on shear connection rules from SCI P405

•Full analytical calculation of additional deflection due to web openings

•Torsion design with construction stage precast hollow core slabs

•Natural frequency checks

•Additional point loads and partial distributed loads

Extensive Range of Design

•Design to BS 5950-3 + A1, EC4-1-1, relevant SCI Publications, relevant EC NCCI documents

•The steel section can be a rolled I-Section, a rolled channel or a built-up symmetrical or asymmetrical I-section

•In-built libraries of British, European, American, South African & Chinese sections

•Design using solid slabs or metal deck profiles from the inbuilt extendible library

•Web openings, with or without stiffeners designed to the latest SCI P355

•Design using precast hollow core slabs in accordance with SCI P401

•Option for non-composite analysis and design

•Create your own section libraries

•Combined primary-secondary beams

•Propped or unpropped design

•Notched supports
