Structural Engineering and Design (AEC)

Versatility and data integration drive productivity for building and non-building structures. Altair's AEC structural analysis and design solutions simulate responses to wind, snow, water, seismic, blast, dead, live, and moving loads, or other dynamic, nonlinear loading conditions while ensuring design resiliency and regional code compliance. Extensive data transfer links manage consecutive import and export cycles between analysis and design solutions, building information modeling (BIM) systems, and/or CAD platforms. Design and optimize concrete, steel, and timber to regional codes, generating report-ready results for all structural elements in a model.

Altair® S-FRAME®

Allows users to simulate the response to internal and external forces during and after construction. Regardless of geometric complexity, material type, loading conditions, or nonlinear effects, S-FRAME analyzes structural behavior and generates reaction forces so engineers can optimize models while verifying compliance with regional design codes for steel, concrete, and/or multi-material structures.

Altair® S-CONCRETE™

S-CONCRETE quickly and accurately designs reinforced concrete column, beam, wall sections, and continuous beams to regional design code requirements. Users can save time by automatically checking thousands of concrete designs at once, and can produce transparent and comprehensive design reports that list clause references and intermediate results, indicating areas that require more attention. S-CONCRETE incorporates concrete design principles and state-of-the-art analysis techniques, making it powerful, versatile, and easy to use.

Altair® S-STEEL™

A fully integrated steel design solution, S-STEEL provides transparent, comprehensive results for any steel design project. With it, users can code-check and auto-design for strength, serviceability, and compliance to regional design codes. S-STEEL supports composite beam design, staged construction, and numerous optimization criteria and constraints. Users save time by easily generating and exporting design results to customized engineering reports that include clause references, equations deployed, identifying passing or failing steel members.

Altair® S-TIMBER™

S-TIMBER is a dedicated design environment for mass timber and hybrid timber analysis. Users can design Sawn Lumber, Glulam, and CLT elements to code compliance and optimize after analyzing the timber/hybrid-timber structure. With advanced 3D analysis, automatic mesh generation, automatic section and material property calculations, plus extensive customization capabilities, S-TIMBER is ideal for irregular geometry and complex structures.

Altair® S-FOUNDATION™

With S-FOUNDATION, users can analyze, design, and detail foundations in a flexible, automated foundation management solution. With versatile modeling capabilities, users can design irregular or stepped mats, and deep or shallow foundations. Save time by automating repetitive processes, customize capabilities to meet project requirements, and smoothly transfer superstructure model and analysis results from S-FRAME and S-TIMBER to perform the substructure design.

Altair® S-CALC™

With S-CALC, users can increase their productivity and design accuracy by quickly generating over sixteen distinct section properties for nonstandard geometry and multi-material configurations. With its intuitive, interactive work environment users can easily define models in the graphical editor or import geometry, material, and section property data from DXF and BIM files. They can also select different calculation methods, including database values, closed-form solutions, FEA methods, and more. Export properties with S-FRAME, S-FOUNDATION, and S-TIMBER integration links.
