Graitec Advance Design
Used by many of the top engineering consultancies in the UK and around the world, Graitec Advance Design is an easy to use structural analysis software solution for general structural analysis and design, it includes Eurocode design for EC0, EC1, EC2, EC3, EC5 and EC8 and international codes for North American or Canada.
Along with a familiar CAD based user interface Advance Design includes full FE capability, seismic, dynamic, generalised buckling and code specific traffic loading for any type of structure mixing concrete, steel and timber members.
Other features includes static, dynamic, modal and non-linear analysis with very easy view and report post processing and detailed design checks.
Advance Design is fully BIM compliant with functionality including export, import and synchronisation links direct with Revit and Advance Steel as well as other programs using industry standard file types and:
- Is powerful, easy to use and operate
- BIM native: Fully compliant with Revit®
- Supported by a strong team of experts
- Has a flexible licensing model
- Has thousands of references worldwide
- Utilises Eurocodes & North American codes
