Structural Workflows
Structural Solutions
Increasingly, new developments in ArchiCAD emphasize effective collaboration between architects and structural engineers. This collaboration requires reliable methods for sharing and storing building model information, design solutions and proposals; it also requires a way to manage all the changes made to the building model by any of the participants, while also minimizing the possibility for human error.
ArchiCAD supports all major model and data exchange formats and some specialized formats, including intelligent 3D modeling, universal 2D drawing, documentation and image formats.
GRAPHISOFT - TEKLA presentation
This presentation introduces how architects - using ArchiCAD, and structural engineers - using Tekla Structures, can exchange design information as well as manage changes by implementing the "Open-BIM approach" in their practice. This presentation also demonstrates the architectural-structural workflow - step-by-step - through practical, real-life examples. Some case studies where architects and engineers have already implemented this open collaboration workflow in their practice are also displayed.
ArchiCAD – Revit Structure Workflow
This presentation introduces how architects - using ArchiCAD, and structural engineers - using Revit Structure, can exchange design information as well as manage changes by implementing the "Open-BIM approach" in their practice. This presentation also demonstrates the architectural-structural workflow - step-by-step - through practical, real-life examples.
GRAPHISOFT - NEMETSCHEK SCIA Presentation

This presentation also demonstrates the architectural-structural workflow - step-by-step - through practical, real-life examples.
Tekla Structures
Tekla Structures is Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that enables the creation and management of accurately detailed, highly constructible 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 and construction management.

Scia Engineer
Scia Engineer is a new software platform for structural engineers. It analyses, designs and details any type of structure. From the simplest to the most complex construction in concrete, steel, aluminum, plastic, timber or mixed, with integration of the local and international codes and with a link between the analysis and drawing components.

ETABS
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.

FEM-Design
FEM-Design is advanced modeling and design software that offers complete analysis solution for whole structure using finite element method. It gives solutions for static/dynamic analysis and steel/RC design in 3D or 2D. FEM-Design has its own drawing and editing tools. It also has bridge to 3D architectural models using IFC. Designers can model and analyze the structures in 12 national codes in 3D. Multi-page documentation can be generated automatically using predefined templates.

Tricalc
Arktec - Tricalc is an integrated structure analysis software, that enables to analyze and detail all structural elements: members, slabs, walls, foundations; in concrete, steel, wood and masonry. Its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, in creating and modifying models, is a suitable tool to develop the complete structural project. Developed by Arktec since 1987, it is a reference in structural software, and it's currently being used by thousands of Structural Engineers, in Spain, Portugal and Latin America.

CYPECAD
CYPECAD is a program created by CYPE for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures containing joist, waffle, flat, composite and hollow core slabs. The foundations which can be introduced include pad footings and pile caps or a buoyant foundation (mat foundation and beams). Complete structural drawings are provided. The program is adapted to numerous international codes. Using the Automatic Job Introduction option of the CYPECAD, DXF, DWG or IFC files generated by CAD/BIM programs can be imported.
