Engineers requiring a solution to design and create complex concrete geometry models and structures
About ADAPT-Builder
Easily create complex concrete geometry including single levels, ramps, and multi-story concrete structures using robust modeling tools as well as import from CAD and BIM software. Efficiently analyze slabs or entire structures for the combined effects of gravity, lateral, and vibration loading, utilizing true 3D finite element analysis, straightforward load takedown, and realistic slab alignment. Whether you’re investigating an existing reinforced concrete slab or designing a multi-story post-tensioned building, ADAPT-Builder allows you to control all aspects of design including cracking, long-term deflections, and punching shear, ensuring results are accurate and complete. Whatever your concrete design needs are, there is ADAPT software for you. Compare packages and get started. ADAPT-Builder is the 3D modeling, analysis, and design platform for ADAPT-Floor Pro, Edge, MAT, and SOG, while Modeler can be used together with ADAPT-PT and RC.

AxisVM
The primary applications of AxisVM are in the design of buildings, and industrial and geotechnical structures. Due to its powerful finite element solver and practical modeling tools, it has also been used in bridge design, and in the design of composite structures, machines, and vehicles. Besides the basic configurations, optional design modules are available for structures made of reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and masonry members and connections. In addition, thanks to the special elements and analysis capabilities, users have successfully applied AxisVM to the design of innovative and custom structures. Reports can be created based on tables, drawings, and detailed design calculations with additional headings and text lines. Reports are auto-updating, i.e. generated based on the most current model data and results.

RISAFloor
Create a single floor or multiple floors with ease using automatically generated grids, graphical input of structural members, and parent/child relationships in an easy-to-navigate environment. Easily design and optimize floor systems of various materials for applied loads, including live load reduction and vibrations while utilizing design rules that make managing results straightforward. RISAFloor ES includes optimization of rebar, full code checks including punching shear and detailing requirements, cracked section properties, and elastic deflection analysis. RISAFloor’s interface creates an intuitive floor-by-floor modeling environment for straightforward multi-story building creation. Quickly model floor elements using a DXF overlay, construction lines, and a combination of spreadsheet input and CAD-like modeling. In addition, parent/child floor relationships let you mimic one floor’s layout within another, eliminating repetitive modeling and modifications.
