 VARIOUS SOFTWARE USED FOR DESING OF RCC
STRUCTUES

Today we are going to know exactly what are the most widely
used general purpose structural analysis and design software
in civil engineering. In fact, these software that helped us to
fulfil our various designing goals

Some generally used software’s

 Autodesk AutoCAD
 STAAD Pro
 SAFE
 RISA
 Navisworks
 Autodesk Revit
 SAP2000
 SketchUp
 Takeoff
 3dmax
One of the widely used software is Autodesk AutoCAD

 Introduction

AutoCAD was derived from a program that began in 1977, and then
released in 1979 called Interact CAD, also referred to in early Autodesk
documents as MicroCAD, which was written prior to Autodesk's (then
Marinchip Software Partners) formation by Autodesk cofounder
Michael Riddle.
The first version by Autodesk was demonstrated at the
1982 Comdex and released that December. AutoCAD supported CP/M-
80 computers. As Autodesk's flagship product, by March 1986
AutoCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD program
worldwide. The 2022 release marked the 36th major release of
AutoCAD for Windows and the 12th consecutive year of AutoCAD
for Mac. The native file format of AutoCAD is .dwg. This and, to a lesser
extent, its interchange file format DXF, have become de facto, if
proprietary, standards for CAD data interoperability, particularly for
2D drawing exchange. AutoCAD has included support for .dwf, a format
developed and promoted by Autodesk, for publishing CAD data.
AutoCAD are available for English, German, French, Italian,
Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional,
Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Polish and Hungarian (also
through additional language packs). The extent of localization varies
from full translation of the product to documentation only. The
AutoCAD command set is localized as a part of the software
localization.
  Uses of AutoCAD

As a CAD Drafter, you could use AutoCAD across a variety of industries.

In mechanical engineering, you might use it to create manufacturing
processes as well as to design motor parts, robots and other innovative
objects. In electrical engineering, you might use it to map out electrical
systems, and in civil engineering, you might use it as you help to design
bridges and roads. Here are other professionals who use AutoCAD:
 Architects/Civil Engineers: AutoCAD is often used to create
blueprints and floor plans for houses and commercial buildings. It also
comes with built-in tools that can analyse and remedy weaknesses in a
building’s design.
 Interior Designers: Similarly, AutoCAD can be used to imagine the
interior of a building, whether it’s an eating space for a restaurant or a
living space in a home.
 Fine Artists: The abilities of AutoCAD are so wide ranging that even
artists use it to draft sculptures, wood carvings, engravings, and
experimental art pieces.

 Highlights Of AutoCAD

Before the invention of AutoCAD, all designing and

modeling were done manually. This was a time-consuming
task and resulted in a lot of costly errors. But, with the
invention of AutoCAD, the process of modeling and
designing got digitalized and simplified. A technology that
has emerged as a solution to most of the engineers and
architects.
  Some of the most Powerful Components of AutoCAD

1. The designers and architects can create accurate models,

sketches, and drawings with AutoCAD. This is next to impossible
when done manually.

2. With the introduction to AutoCAD, the user can even model 3D

objects with colors & materials that can be applied to various
surfaces, making it simpler for the user to anticipate the outcome,
which cannot be fulfilled in manual 3D sketches.

3. Creating drawings manually is a time-consuming task. When

designers create drawings on a digital platform with computer
software, they get the benefit of the application interface. Editing is
also easy with AutoCAD as it has many editing commands.

4. AutoCAD is an advanced program that has default

commands incorporated in the application. With these
commands, the users can edit and change their files without
any limitations.
  Characteristics of AutoCAD

In the Above Section, we have learned about Introduction

to AutoCAD; there are some main characteristics that one
need:

1. AutoCAD is a global application. It is being used globally

by product development teams, manufacturing facilities,
medical professionals, in educational institutions, by
professionals and engineers.

2. 3D modeling and visualization are two main important

features of the program. AutoCAD allows the modelers
to create powerful 3d models, wireframes, meshes &
surfaces by using various 3D tools & commands.

3. AutoCAD is a professional application that has

flexibility in design changes and has an auto-
specification check feature. The mistakes in the designs
or the product can be avoided and can be re-edit as and
when required.

4. AutoCAD has the capability to create section planes.

These section planes help in achieving cross-sectional
views of 3D objects. The users can change, select, or
move the section planes to inspect the inner details of
3D objects.
 Tools and Commands in AutoCAD
  Advantages and Disadvantages of AutoCAD

After going through all the components, characteristics, and the

wide Introduction to AutoCAD, we are going to explore the
advantages and disadvantages of AutoCAD:

 With AutoCAD, the users get to link their files to

multiple platforms; they have the benefit of importing
and exporting all kinds of files.
 The users can even expand the base program through
programming; thus, AutoCAD is a versatile application
that has standardized in computer designs.
 AutoCAD also has project managing tools that allow
users to share information simultaneously &
effectively.
 The cost of the program is quite high due to its
license.
 The software is a time-consuming application. It has
many functions and features which specific and to the
point.
 A powerful computer with good RAM and Hard disk is
required for the application to work with processing
speed.
 Plans Designed in AutoCAD
  CONCLUSION

In this report we have enlisted some of the mainly used software’s in

designing of RCC structures.
We overviewed and studied a major software used by the
architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, city
planners and other professionals and students. Auto Cad is the
widely used software because of its magnificent features, that
makes it possible to design structures with perception and is also
time consuming. Many of the features are explained in the above
points.
