Description

StructSuite is a no-cost, web-based software designed for structural analysis and load calculation specifically aimed at residential and light-frame construction. The tool is capable of designing wood and steel beams as well as columns in accordance with NDS 2024 and AISC 360-22 standards; it also accommodates floor and ceiling joists and rafters, drawing from the 2024 IBC span tables. Additionally, it allows for the creation of wood-frame shear walls that are plotted on the building design in compliance with SDPWS 2021, incorporating Simpson hold-downs and anchors; it also designs isolated and strip footings according to ACI 318-25 and cantilever retaining walls utilizing concrete or CMU stems to meet TMS 402-22 specifications. Furthermore, the software calculates various loads, including dead, live, seismic, and wind loads, in alignment with ASCE 7-22. Throughout the process, users can view equations with substituted project values, alongside a book icon that references the relevant governing code paragraph for transparency. Results can be compiled into a single comprehensive calculation report intended for plan review purposes. The free version encompasses all modules, allows for endless calculations, and includes one cloud project, while the Pro subscription offers unlimited projects, PDF reports, and an online verification link to facilitate plan checking; the subscription options are priced at $100 per month or $1,000 annually, with a one-week Pro access pass available for $50. Users will find that this tool not only enhances efficiency but also simplifies compliance with industry standards, making it an invaluable resource for structural engineers.

Description

Vertex BD serves as a comprehensive BIM solution tailored for medium to large residential builders. This software facilitates the creation of architectural and structural drawing sets, fabrication drawings, material reports, manufacturing data, and marketing renderings, all derived from a singular building model. By automating the generation of site-specific drawing sets, Vertex BD enables production home builders to conserve significant hours that would otherwise be spent recreating drawings for various customer-selected house options. Component manufacturers and panelizers primarily utilize Vertex BD as panel prefab software, streamlining the creation of wall and floor panel fabrication drawings, structural layouts, cut lists, and additional material reports. This automation not only saves manufacturers a remarkable amount of design, drafting, and estimation time but also significantly reduces the risk of errors during construction. Furthermore, Vertex BD is compatible with both wood and cold-formed steel construction methods, making it a versatile tool in the building industry. Its ability to integrate various aspects of the building process into one platform enhances efficiency and accuracy across projects.
