About

OpenBuildings Designer (formerly AECOsim Building Designer), Bentley’s multi-discipline building information modeling (BIM). Explore, design, and deliver innovative buildings faster. Design, analyze, document, and visualize buildings of any size, form, and complexity. Effectively communicate design intent and bridge barriers between building disciplines and geographically distributed teams. OpenBuildings Designer (formerly AECOsim Building Designer) provides building information modeling (BIM) advancements so you can deliver buildings faster and with greater confidence – confidence in your design, workflow, capabilities, and deliverables. Increase collaboration among architects, mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers with a shared set of tools and workflows. Integrate information you have from multiple formats and easily work on projects of any size. Clearly communicate your design intent with reliable deliverables that you can easily customize.

About

Thousands of professionals leverage VisualAnalysis (VA) to meet deadlines. Customers say it is "a great value" and "so easy to learn". You need practical tools; easy on your budget. 3D models of complete buildings, tanks, towers, etc. Static and dynamic response analysis. Design code checks for steel, wood, concrete, cold-formed steel, and aluminum. Complete analysis and design features including automatic plate meshing, command window, nonlinear elements, and dynamic time history analysis. 3D static and dynamic FEA for civil, mechanical, aerospace or any other structural analysis. Optional support of building code load combinations. Easily apply loads. Distribute area loads to members. Gravity and lateral loading in the same project. Create frame, truss, or FEA models of just about any structure. Sketch, generate, and import CAD, or BIM (Revit). Fast static, P-delta, AISC Direct, dynamic, and nonlinear. Proven and validated results.
