AISC (ASD and LRFD), AASHTO and optional codes such
as ASCE 52 and several international codes like
BS5400, BS5950, French, German, Canadian, Japanese,
Chinese, Indian, Mexican (NTC), EC3 and Scandinavian
- Design of HSS Sections

code (BS5950 Part V) with associated database of
shapes
- Update to EC3 code to include
design of Class 4 sections
- Composite deck object to
graphically draw the stud locations and also handle
cambering (pre-construction loading)
- Integration with DESCON
now includes check for bracing connections including
Chevron, Knee, and K- Braces as well as braces connected
to column base and Beam-Column joints where up to
four braces and two beams may exist

Concrete Design
- Two-way slab design to design
irregular-shaped slabs. Full reinforcement contour
and reinforcement layout plans are created
- Rectangular concrete shear
wall design (with deep beam design) and automatically
mesh an existing wall and provide horizontal, vertical
and edge reinforcements based on axial, moments
and pressure loadings. Provide openings (doors and
windows) as well
- Automatic calculation of
cracked moment of inertia for concrete design
