Steel Design

Our programs offer powerful tools for analysis and design of complex steel design problems. Besides the possiblity to analyze acc. to 3rd order theory the programs offer non-linear material modells for metallic materials. The applied elasto-plastic-zone theory is based on the interaction of any internal forces and moments.
