2. Perpendicular option under object snap New Feature
If you right click the mouse
button during modeling of
Slabs and elements you get
the snapping option. An
option of perpendicular is
added in that which will
increase speed in modeling of
Slabs, Elements, User
defined Trusses.

3. Import and Export of ETABS file in STRUDS Improvement
If you have ETABS file
and it’s analysis file you
can import the same in
STRUDS.
You can export STRUDS
file in ETABS.

4. Improvement in user defined truss modeling Improvement
Lot of improvements in modeling of user defined trusses to save time
in modeling.

5. Detail report on Pattern loading in PDF format. New Feature
Under load -
> Reports a
PDF report
for pattern
loading is
added which
gives clear
idea about
various
combination
s of pattern
loading.

6. Window selection option in column orient windowNew Feature
In column orient view
for multiple selection
of columns window
selection option is
given to save time in
modeling.

7. Footing level with node numbers in postprocessor New Feature
In postprocessor mode for space-frame analysis an option is given to set the
footing level to see the node numbers at footing level, this helps to check the
support reactions from analysis report.

8. Use of Fe550 grade steel in design New Feature
Use of Fe 550 grade
steel in design of
Slabs, Beams,
Columns, Footings
and Shear walls is
implemented.

9. DXF drawing for beam design details New Feature
A DXF drawing in
beam design is
introduced to give
Ast required at
support & Mid-span,
BM at support &
Mid-span as well SF
at support.

10. User defined combination of bar and diameter New Feature
Detailing of beam as per
user defined bar and
diameter data for beam
design.
The data can be
modified as per
requirement in excel
sheet at specified
location.

11. Design of beams by effective depth calculation New Feature
Design of beam by
calculating effective
depth automatically as
per detailing.
If you give values for
clear covers then
depending on the
reinforcement provided
the effective covers will
be calculated and
accordingly the design
will be checked.

12. Implementation of clause 7.1.1 for ductile Improvement
Detailing of frame members
As per Clause 7.1.1 of IS 13920 all the requirements of ductile
detailing are applied to frame members which have a factored axial
stress in excess of 0.1Fck under the effect of earthquake forces.

13. Pile design as per pile capacity New Feature
Design of piles as per
user defined pile
capacity.
Also have provision to
give pile capacity table
at required location to
refer values for pile
design.
