User Manual

Static Analysis

Static loads include dead loads, live loads, and static wind loads. Loads can be applied to joints, frame elements, and shell elements. Static wind loads are calculated semi-automatically. Users do not need to calculate detailed wind load values manually; they only need to input the tributary area multiplied by the aerodynamic coefficient and load factor.

Modal Analysis

Modal analysis is used for structures subjected to dynamic wind loads and earthquake loads.

Stability Analysis

Stability analysis is used to determine the critical load and the effective length of compression members under a specified loading condition.

Geometric Nonlinear Analysis

Geometric nonlinear analysis includes P-Delta effects and geometric nonlinearities such as tension-only or compression-only gaps.

Material Nonlinear Analysis

Analysis of plastic hinge formation in beam and column members.

Structural Analysis Under Wind Loads Including Gust Effects

Automatic calculation of wind loads including gust effects according to TCVN 2737-2023.

Structural Analysis Under Earthquake Loads

Earthquake loads are calculated according to TCVN 9386-2025 using the response spectrum method. The response spectrum curve is automatically generated based on structural parameters, ground acceleration, and soil characteristics.

Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Design

Design of reinforced concrete beams and columns according to TCVN 5574-2018 for rectangular, T-shaped, I-shaped, and hollow box beam sections, as well as rectangular, T-shaped, I-shaped, hollow circular, and solid circular column sections. Columns are designed as uniaxial compression members for all section types or as biaxial eccentric compression members for rectangular sections.

Reinforced Concrete Slab Design

Design of reinforced concrete slabs according to TCVN 5574-2018. Reinforcement areas are calculated per meter width of slab in both directions for top and bottom reinforcement.

Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall and Coupling Beam Design

Design of reinforced concrete shear walls and coupling beams according to TCVN 5574-2018. Shear walls are modeled using shell elements and designed as biaxial eccentric compression members. Vertical reinforcement is calculated for both boundary zones and wall web regions.

Steel Structure Design

Steel structures such as beams, columns, and trusses are designed according to TCVN 5575-2024. Members are checked for axial compression, axial tension, eccentric loading, local buckling, and global stability.

Reinforced Concrete Shallow Foundation Design

Design of shallow foundations according to TCVN standards, including automatic footing size calculation, verification for Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS), and flexural reinforcement design.

Reinforced Concrete Pile Foundation Design

Design of pile foundations according to TCVN 10304-2025, including pile bearing capacity calculation, automatic pile arrangement within pile caps, verification for ULS and SLS, punching shear checks, and flexural reinforcement design.
