ShapeDesigneris an advanced general beam section calculator.ShapeDesignercalculates, the cross–sectional torsion and flexuralstructural properties, includingtorsion (J)and warping (Cw)constants, normal, warping and shear stresses.ShapeDesigneris auseful tool for structural engineers, design or analysis of steel,aluminum, and polymeric or composite materials sections, hapeDesignercalculates the stresses distribution including normalstresses, warping and shear stresses, also the equivalent Von–Misestresses, principals stresses and residual stresses are given.•Warping and Torsion PropertiesShape Designer makes no assumptions or restrictions on thecalculation of shear and torsion properties. Shape designer use anadvanced and efficiently finite element approach to calculate theseconstants, for more complicate properties see user’s manual. Formore information, see our web site.•Viewing PropertiesWhen you draw a shape and specify its material properties, as eachchange is made the sectional properties are automaticallyrecalculated.•Mass moment...

Based on standard platforms, ProStructures easily allows structural engineers, detailers, and fabricators to create 3D models for both concrete and steel. ProStructures provides automatic creation of documentation, details, and schedules. The open working environment and programming interface supports standardization of the program. Bentley’s ProStructures includes ProSteel and ProConcrete. The automatic creation of documentation and details increases productivity and therefore profitability. The detailing includes miscellaneous steel such as stairs, handrails, ladders, and circular stairs. The documentation provides 2D drawings from a 3D model, including bills of materials, NC data, and PPS data. ProStructures eliminates duplication of effort and increases interoperability. It offers integration with Bentley products as well as third-party products. ProStructures can be easily customized and standardized due to its...

Most Productive and Easy-to-Learn ToolOpenPlant Modeler V8i is a specification-driven modeling system that matches how a plant designer works.
