What is StructSuite?

StructSuite is a free, online software solution tailored for structural analysis and load calculations, specifically targeting residential and light-frame construction projects. This powerful tool enables the design of wood and steel beams as well as columns, adhering to the standards set by NDS 2024 and AISC 360-22; it also supports the design of floor and ceiling joists and rafters, referencing the 2024 IBC span tables. In addition to these features, it facilitates the design of wood-frame shear walls, which can be illustrated on building plans in accordance with SDPWS 2021, complete with Simpson hold-downs and anchors; furthermore, it provides designs for both isolated and strip footings that follow ACI 318-25 guidelines, as well as cantilever retaining walls made from concrete or CMU stems in line with TMS 402-22 standards. The software is capable of calculating a variety of loads, such as dead, live, seismic, and wind loads, in conformity with ASCE 7-22. Throughout the design process, users are able to view equations populated with project-specific values, and a book icon offers easy reference to the relevant sections of the governing codes for heightened clarity. Results can be gathered into a detailed calculation report that serves the purpose of plan reviews. The free version provides access to all modules, allows for unlimited calculations, and includes one cloud project, while the Pro subscription unlocks unlimited projects, the ability to create PDF reports, and an online verification link for plan checking; pricing for the subscription options is set at $100 monthly or $1,000 annually, with a one-week Pro access pass available for $50. The tool significantly improves efficiency and streamlines adherence to industry standards, establishing itself as an essential asset for structural engineers engaged in diverse projects. Moreover, its user-friendly interface empowers engineers to focus more on design and less on administrative tasks, further enhancing their productivity.

What is Braceworks?

The Braceworks® add-on for Vectorworks Spotlight provides a seamless solution for professionals in design, production, and rigging to evaluate the load-bearing capabilities of temporary structures. This groundbreaking module not only improves safety but also guarantees compliance with engineering regulations and standards, promoting a unified approach to modeling, analysis, and documentation all within one platform. As regulatory frameworks, such as the Eurocodes, become more stringent and demands from venues, municipalities, and property owners escalate, businesses engaged in event design, audiovisual installations, and rigging are increasingly required to generate detailed load and structural calculations for approval by structural engineers. Users are able to perform static and FEM analyses, with results clearly displayed on the model for easy understanding. Furthermore, it generates thorough calculation reports automatically, streamlining the documentation process and boosting efficiency in project execution. This indispensable tool is vital for those in the industry who strive to uphold exceptional standards of safety and compliance in their endeavors. In a rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to swiftly adjust to new requirements is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge.
