2. Auto Numbering of Beams Program will auto number the Beams at Only Members are present in the
each Floor Level as it is done in working 3D model. They are numbered in
drawings. User can number the Beams the order they are drawn.
as per choice as B1, B1a, B101 etc. User has to take care manually.

3. Concept of Beams & Members One Beam can have multiple parts called No concept of Beams. All elements

8. Building Elevation 3D View Program creates 3D View of Building Since Wall height, thickness data
from the plan data, showing beams, is not available; walls are not

2. Floor Diaphragm Action Rigidity of the floor slabs is considered. User has to define master and
Shear Walls can be considered in model. slave nodes manually.

RCC Design

1. Floor wise Design Design of Beams & Slabs at each floor All Members of 3D model are
level is done separately. Any component designed together. Member wise
can be redesigned with interactive mode. Interactive design is not available.
Trial sizes given by user are increased if User defined member sizes are not
they are not sufficient while designing. increased by program.

2. Beam Design Flange effect is considered from plan No separate list can be defined of
data. Bar combinations are selected from Bar combinations for bars in beam
User-defined list of bar area of steel. bottom, beam top, column etc.

3. Slab Design Slabs are designed as per spanning Slab design is not available.
Cantilever, One-way or Two-way types.
Slab can be marked as Sunk. Continuity Slabs cannot be marked as sunk.
of Slab edges comes from plan data.

4. Column Design Each column is designed from Top to Members of one Column are
Bottom as one entity. Size and steel at designed independent of each
each level is carried below properly. other.

5. Footing Design Footing design with Biaxial Moments is Footing design with Biaxial
rigorous. Loss of contact and pressure Moments is done considering
redistribution as per code is considered contact with soil at each corner.
for optimum design. Gives larger size of footings.

6. Schedule Drawings Program creates Schedule Drawings Design output is not in Drawing

7. Modify Schedule on Plan Design Schedule Data namely, sizes and Design output values cannot be
