SAP2000’s sophisticated analytical methods and design algorithms directly address the Oil and Gas industry’s structural engineering requirements. Analytical features include the ability to easily capture rotational acceleration due to pitch, roll and yaw; perform simple linear or complete nonlinear snap-through buckling analyses; compute frequency-domain response for harmonic and non-harmonic periodic loading; calculate power-spectral density response; apply automated wave loading and API 4F wind loading; pushover analysis and much more. The implementation of the API 4F, API 2A (offshore structures) and Norsok N-004 (offshore structures) design codes allows the engineer to optimize designs with greater accuracy and speed, including punching shear checks. Structural models are very easily created through the integrated 3D SAP2000 environment where users can model all structural geometry,...

For nearly 30 years, ETABS has been recognized as the industry standard for Building Analysis and Design Software. Today, continuing in the same tradition, ETABS has evolved into a completely Integrated Building Analysis and Design Environment. The System built around a physical object based graphical user interface, powered by targeted new special purpose algorithms for analysis and design, with interfaces for drafting and manufacturing, is redefining standards of integration, productivity and technical innovation. The integrated model can include Moment Resisting Frames, Braced Frames, Staggered Truss Systems, Frames with Reduced Beam Sections or Side Plates, Rigid and Flexible Floors, Sloped Roofs, Ramps and Parking Structures, Mezzanine Floors, Multiple Tower Buildings and Stepped Diaphragm Systems with Complex Concrete, Composite or Steel Joist...

PERFORM 3D is a highly focused nonlinear software tool for earthquake resistant design. Complex structures, including those with intricate shear wall layouts, can be analyzed nonlinearly using a wide variety of deformation-based and strength-based limit states. Model data can be imported directly from ETABS and SAP2000. A wide variety of element types are supported, including beams (with panel zones), columns, braces, shear walls (with openings), floor slabs, dampers, and isolators. Nonlinear analyses can be static and/or dynamic, and can be run on the same model. Loads can be applied in any sequence, such as a dynamic earthquake load followed by a static pushover. PERFORM 3D provides powerful performance based design capabilities, and can calculate demand/capacity (usage) ratios for all components...

CSiCOL is a comprehensive software package used for the analysis and design of columns. The design of columns of any concrete, reinforced concrete, or composite cross-section can be carried out by the program. CSiCOL provides a \’Quick Design Wizard\’ tool that guides the users step-by-step, through the whole process of column design. This makes the design process simple, organized and efficient. The design can be carried out in accordance with ACI-318-02, ACI-318-99, BS8110 or CSA A-23.3-94 codes. CSiCOL is capable of handling an unlimited number of load combinations both for sway and non-sway conditions. The design actions may be specified directly or may be computed by the program using the moment magnification method. The design and analysis take into account...

::::::English Description::::::SAFE is a special purpose program that automates the analysis and design of simple to complex concrete flat plates and foundation systems using powerful object based modeling. The program can analyze and design slabs or mats of arbitrary shapes and varying thickness, drop panels, openings, edge beams and discontinuities. Foundations can be combinations of Mats, Strip Footings or Isolated Spread Footings. The analysis is based upon the Finite Element Method in a theoretically consistent fashion that properly accounts for the effects of twisting moments. Meshing is Automated based upon User Specified Parameters. Foundations are modeled as thick plates on Elastic Foundations, where the Compression Only Soil Springs are automatically discretized based upon a modulus of sub grade reaction that...

,Section Builder is a comprehensive Windows based, Graphical Software Package for creating simple & complex structural cross sections of steel, reinforced concrete or composite materials. Section Builder includes numerous practical shapes that can be defined parametrically. Sections can be picked up directly from standard data bases. Arbitrary unsymmetrical sections can be drawn graphically using a wide variety of drawing and editing tools. Complex Sections can be built up by combining previously defined sections with each other or with sections obtained directly from the standard databases. Various options allow the user to obtain biaxial interaction curves and surfaces, moment-curvature relationships and stress distributions for a given set of section forces. The Software comes with a set of examples and comprehensive documentation...
