Description

BentStudio serves as an online platform for designing timber and log structures, catering to various projects ranging from small garden sheds and pergolas to larger cabins, workshops, and timber barns. - Create your design: begin with a choice of timber-frame, post-and-beam, or dovetail log-wall configurations. Adjust measurements, sections, roof shapes, trusses, dormers, and lean-tos while the model reflects your changes in real time. - Review your project: seamlessly transition between 3D views, floor plans, and elevation sketches. Examine details closely, focusing on joints, notches, supports, and individual components. - Prepare for construction: save different versions of your project and generate a PDF drawing package complete with timber lists, cutting coordinates, and a modifiable project file. Accessible through a desktop browser, BentStudio also offers an offline HTML download option. The cost is a one-time payment of CAD $199 for a single Studio license, with no recurring fees involved. It’s important to note that BentStudio functions solely as a design and layout tool, rather than a structural engineering service. This makes it an ideal choice for creatives looking to bring their timber building visions to life without the complexities of engineering calculations.

Description

MasterSeries PowerPad represents a comprehensive suite for structural analysis and design, making it an excellent choice for engineers seeking extensive design features at a remarkably low cost. By offering scaled-down versions of its primary analysis and design tools, MasterSeries PowerPad ensures that a variety of established programs are accessible for less than one-third of their standard pricing. Central to PowerPad is the robust MasterFrame analysis module, which seamlessly connects with design modules for steel, concrete, composite, and timber, creating a fully integrated, three-dimensional analysis and design workspace. Additionally, the PowerPad (Student Edition) is available for free, providing students access to our commercial PowerPad Plus suite. Unlike mere proformas, PowerPad bundles lightweight versions of true software applications, including straightforward designs for steel, concrete, and timber beams, along with the capability to analyze beams, trusses, plane frames, grillages, and space frames. This extensive functionality supports engineers in executing a wide array of design projects efficiently.
