Design and Construction within Existing Buildings Allplan 2009 Architecture enables alteration, demolition and renovations or re-development plans to be drawn up efficiently and quantities to be calculated quickly. This is made possible with the help of special CAD libraries served by graphic assistants. The libraries contain pre-defined components with the necessary attributes for new and existing buildings, demolitions and new buildings. In addition to providing greater clarity, these libraries also reduce organisational effort and ensure uniform office standards. As a system user, you\’ll benefit from rapid access and greater productivity when planning renovation work. Furthermore, by using Allplan 2009 Architecture, you\’ll be able to accurately plan the costs of alterations, renovations and re-development work on the basis of precise quantity...

Key New features In SewerGEMS V8i: Engine updates The new SewerGEMS V8i now installs two individual programs: * SewerGEMS (dynamic wave solver) for which:o the SWMM solver has been updated to version 5.0.14o the Dynamic Wave Solver has been improved (for low flow where the user can now specify virtual depth at which virtual flow calculations occur)* the new SewerGEMS Sanitary provides the same features as SewerCAD with the added ability to work within the ArcGIS platform. This means that SewerGEMS Sanitary allows engineers to use steady-state analysis with various standard peaking factors and extended-period simulations, as well as the powerful and easy-to-use Automatic Design features. Updated GIS and CAD interoperability Support for ArcGIS v9.3: Run SewerGEMS in ArcGIS 9.3...

DICAD Strakon/S v2010 SP1 *MULTiLANGUAGE* (c) DICAD Systeme GmbH DICAD Systeme GmbH is one of the leading vendors of CAD杝oftware in thefield of formwork and reinforcement planning. STRAKON is a general CAD system for the preparation of all types ofconstruction drawings and has specific modules for structuralengineering design. It is a basic 2D-system with 3D extensions. A major advantage ofSTRAKON is its associative file structure. For example, when the lengthof an element is modified by moving its formwork outline, all relateddimensions, hatches, reinforcement and so forth are automaticallyadjusted to fit the new shape. This enables you to rapidly, easily andprofessionally make modifications whenever need arises withoutextensive extra effort. Those intended to use STRAKON such as designers, engineers andtechnicians played a...

– StairDesigner is a polyvalent straight, helicoidal, and balancedstair design software, used in the wood, marble, stone, and metalindustries.– StairDesigner allows a quick stairway parameters entry. Its Helpand Control Function checks the Riser Height, Tread Length, andStair Rule parameters (Blondel’s law), and helps reaching thestair compliance.– StairDesigner is based on the Boole & Partners exclusive GlobalBalancing Function, which summarizes major balancing theories, andcalculates «S-shaped» stairs, cut-off corners stairs, English styledstairs, and rounded stairs, and also optimizes concrete stairscoverage (StairDesigner-Pro_RB).– StairDesigner calculates all the stair components : steps, risers,stringboards, racks, straws, poles, handrails and banisters, whichmay be printed, plotted in a scale 1/1 (jigs), or exported in DXF format.– The StairDesigner 3D integrated function (colors, textures, andtransparency levels) displays the stair...

ATIR Engineering Software Development Ltd was founded in 1983 with the aim of developing structural analysis and design software for use on personal computers. ATIR\’s staff of software and structural engineers, aided by a team of academic experts, has been dedicated to the task of creating top quality programs for the construction industry. ATIR set its goal to produce a structural analysis program that would be sophisticated and comprehensive and at the same time easy to use for the professional engineer. The very first version of STRAP, released in 1984, already featured an interactive user interface, unlike the batch processing method used by other programs available at that time. ATIR introduced a true graphical interface as early as 1989 in...

MIDAS/Gen is a Windows-based, general-purpose structural analysis and optimal design system. The intuitive User Interface, contemporary Computer Graphics and substantially fast Solver Speed are some of the highlights of MIDAS/Gen. The user-oriented input/output features and significant analysis capabilities enable the practicing engineers and researchers to readily undertake structural analyses and designs for even complex and large structures. MIDAS/Gen offers conventional analysis capabilities as well as other analyses such as Geometric nonlinear analysis reflecting Large Displacement, Boundary nonlinear analysis, Pushover analysis, Construction simulated analysis reflecting time dependent material properties, Heat of hydration analysis, etc. Diverse ranges of specialty finite elements in conjunction with the latest theories of structural analyses render accurate and practical results. It is prominent for providing convenience, efficiency,...

AllPile is a Windows-based analysis program that handles virtually all types of piles, including steel pipes, H-piles, pre-cast concrete piles, auger-cast piles, drilled shafts, timber piles, jetted piles, tapered piles, piers with bell, micropiles (minipiles), uplift anchors, uplift plate, and shallow foundations. One of the major advantages AllPile has over other pile software is that it combines most pile analyses in a single program. It calculates compression (with settlement), uplift, lateral capacity, and group analysis all together. Users only need to input the data once instead of several times in different programs. AllPile makes pile analysis easy, economical and time-efficient. AllPile is suitable for all engineers, even those without too much pile analysis experience. It helps structural engineers choose soil...

Tekla Structures is Building Information Modelling (BIM) software that enables the creation and management of accurately detailed, highly constructable 3D structural models regardless of material or structural complexity. Tekla models can be used to cover the entire building process from conceptual design to fabrication, erection and construction management.nteroperability Tekla Structures can be used to interface with other existing applications, or solely as a platform to develop a customisable internal solution. Its open platform supports interoperability and standardisation. Tekla Structures links with various systems through Tekla Open API™ application programming interface that is implemented using Microsoft® .NET technology.
