Structural WorkSuite include:
Š Industrial structures and facilities
Š Multistory concrete or steel buildings
Š Pre-engineered metal buildings
Š Water, wastewater, and environmental structures
Whether your project consists of multiple materials, such as a mix of steel,
concrete, and masonry components, or requires an advanced analysis
method, such as a nonlinear time history analysis or comprehensive
long-term concrete deflection analysis, Structural WorkSuite offers a solution.
Structural WorkSuite also includes access to the high-powered design
and optimization features that are available through Bentley’s Analytical
Cloud Services. STAAD’s Scenario Services allows users to compare the
performance of different design alternatives built in different models and
validate results in a given model using multiple versions of STAAD.Pro®.
RAM Concept PT Optimization saves post-tensioned concrete designers
hours of engineering time using intelligent search algorithms that converge
to an optimal design that satisfies design criteria and minimizes material
and labor costs.
