One main workspace
Inputs, tools and summary indicators remain close to the engineering task, with detailed results organised into direct tabs.
A workflow built around the beam.
01 · DefineSet geometry, materials, actions, reinforcement and project factors.
02 · CheckReview individual checks, utilization indicators and contextual warnings.
03 · CompareInspect design alternatives and review the governing results.
04 · DocumentReview quantities, reinforcement schedules, reports and export options.
Clear checks. Contextual feedback.
Warnings where they matter
Spacing and reinforcement indicators identify affected detailing groups. Review the explanation and adjust inputs before relying on results.
Four interaction views
N–M (ULS), M–R (ULS/SLS), V–M (ULS) and V–T (ULS) complement the numerical summaries.
Engineering tools within reach
Concrete properties, rebar calculations, unit conversion and expression calculation are available on the lower ribbon. The upper ribbon brings together check status, optimization, quantities, BBS, mix and carbon summaries.
