Simcenter S-Frame
Simcenter S-Frame is a Siemens structural analysis and design solution built for modeling, analyzing, and designing structures of varying complexity. It supports different materials, load cases, nonlinear behaviors, and design code requirements for a wide range of structural engineering projects. The software helps users create models faster with automated framework generators, cloning tools, and BIM or DXF import links. Simcenter S-Frame includes advanced meshing tools that allow engineers to generate detailed analysis results in areas of interest. It supports many analysis types, including linear static, vibration, response spectrum, time history, P-Delta, buckling, staged construction, moving load, and nonlinear analysis. With integrated steel and concrete design tools, reporting features, and links to Revit, TEKLA Structures, AutoCAD DXF, S-Frame Timber, and S-Frame Foundation, it helps engineers improve productivity and design confidence.

RSTAB
RSTAB is a powerful analysis and design software for 3D beam, frame, or truss structure calculations, reflecting the current state of the art and helping structural engineers meet requirements in modern civil engineering.
Use the successful structural frame & truss analysis software RSTAB for your design of beam, frame, or truss structures consisting of steel, reinforced concrete, timber, aluminum, or other materials.
With RSTAB, you can easily and quickly define a structural model and then calculate the internal forces, deformations, and support reactions. There are design add-ons at your side that you can use to consider the material- and standard-specific requirements.

BentStudio
BentStudio is a browser-based design studio for timber and log buildings, from garden sheds and pergolas to cabins, larger sheds and timber barns.
- Design the structure: start from a timber-frame, post-and-beam or dovetail log-wall layout. Set dimensions, bays, roof form, trusses, dormers and lean-tos; the model updates as you go.
- Inspect the work: move between 3D, plans and elevations. Look closely at corners, notches, braces and individual members.
- Take it to the shop: save a revision and export a PDF drawing package with timber sheets, cut coordinates and an editable project file.
Runs in a desktop browser, with an offline HTML download included. Pricing: one Studio licence is CAD $199, paid once. No subscription.
BentStudio is a design and layout tool, not a structural engineering service.

123Build
Within 123Build’s user-friendly environment, you simply draw a beam of frame structure on the screen. Next, the model is completed graphically and interactively with boundary conditions, permanent loads and variable loads. 123Build does all the work for you and always delivers an optimal result: the beam with the smallest height, the steel profile having the lesser weight or the girder with the maximum deflection limits. That way you can design as well economical as fast. 123Build is a complete solution which offers you all necessary functionality for optimal structural design, up to the creation of a concise and highly readable analysis report. On top of that, 123Build presents you a reinforcement sketch and list of material quantities: total volume timber and concrete, total weight and volume of reinforcement, painting surface and weight of steel.
