Benefits ConCrete
Intuitive
Within the BuildSoft ConCrete design software for reinforced concrete beam analysis, your designs couldn&qout;t be easier to set up: just define model geometry, cross-sections, (elastic) supports and loads interactively within ConCrete&qout;s user – friendly environment.
Through a few mouse clicks, you can easily change any design parameter. Instantly, all related analysis results (from internal forces up to reinforcement diagrams) will be updated automatically – maintaining full associativity between analysis data and results.
Powerful
ConCrete performs organic design calculations based on the behaviour of structural members in ultimate and serviceability limit states. All of this complies with Eurocode 2 and a wide range of national standards.
ConCrete instantly provides you with deformations (considering the effects of cracks and creep), internal forces, reinforcement requirements, … and presents all of this in clear graphs. Results of design verifications are translated into reinforcement plans and cutting lists.

Benefits PowerFrame
Intuitive
Within PowerFrames user-friendly environment, you define model geometry, boundary conditions and loads graphically.
An extensive set of tools (conveniently grouped in an icon toolbox) provides smooth access to PowerFrames modeling power: automatic generation of wind and snow loads, elastic supports, variable cross-sections, … are just a couple of typical examples.
Powerful
PowerFrame is built on state-of-the-art finite element solver technologies. PowerFrame provides you with a rich set of solution sequences, including first-order and second-order static analysis and dynamic analysis.
Built-in design rules for steel, reinforced concrete and timber empower you to optimally design portal frames, trusses and beams in a short time period.
Limit state design verifications can be done according to Eurocodes 2 and 3, and according to a wide range of national standards.
Flexible
PowerFrame is flexible. Thanks to its ingenious license structure and its innovative network licensing system, PowerFrame will give you at any instant of time the optimal answer to changing design analysis needs. Each PowerFrame version offers structural and loads modeling capabilities, static and dynamic analysis, limit state design verification and reporting capabilities, and can be extended with advanced dynamic analysis capabilities or with fire resistance analysis capabilities.

Features PowerFrame

Benefits PowerConnect
Intuitive
BuildSoft PowerConnect is a dedicated steel connection design tool. Within PowerConnect&qout;s user-friendly steel design software environment you define single-sided or double-sided connections for a wide range of practical designs quickly and efficiently. Alternatively, connections can be imported directly from PowerFrame.
Design changes can then be defined easily, enabling structural engineers and steel contractors to test several designs in a short time frame and finally go for the most optimal solution.
Powerful
PowerConnect implements the most recent limit state design methods according to Eurocode 3 or IS800.
In spite of the complexity of those methods, PowerConnect&qout;s strong solver capabilities enable you to evaluate almost instantly the impact of design changes on the connection&qout;s design resistance and stiffness. You&qout;ll soon be developing better insights into the quantitative importance of the most relevant steel connection design parameters.
