In the era of information technology, a variety of structural design software options are available, including YJK, PKPM, ETABS, SAP2000, STRAT, Guangsha, and Midas. These are among the leading tools in structural design. Below is an overview of their main features:
1. Yingjianke: An independent graphics platform with integrated multiple modules. It features a model and load input method that emphasizes three-dimensional characteristics, allowing operation on both single-layer and multi-layer assembled models.
2. Revit Structure: Offers precise visualization of building structures along with capabilities for structural design and analysis.
3. PKPM: Enables direct extraction of building models from DWG files to facilitate energy-saving design. This reduces architects’ workload and supports energy-efficient planning across various design stages, including planning, expansion, and construction drawings, eliminating the need for secondary modeling.
4. ETABS: Known for its powerful yet user-friendly interface, ETABS allows realistic model rendering. It displays all analysis results directly on the structure and generates comprehensive, customizable reports covering all analysis and design outcomes.
5. SAP2000: Provides a robust 3D graphical environment with diverse options for modeling, analysis, and design. It is widely recognized as an integrated, efficient, and practical general-purpose structural software.
6. STRAT Jia Gou Tong: A unified software suite that breaks traditional professional software boundaries. It offers multifunctional capabilities, especially strong 3D graphics functions, enabling direct modeling of any spatial structure without requiring additional specialized graphics software.
7. Guangxia: Supports various structural forms such as frames, frame shear walls, tubes, and brick concrete. It streamlines processes from structural modeling and calculation to automatic generation of construction drawings and foundation design.
8. Midas: A versatile spatial finite element structural analysis and design software suitable for civil buildings, industrial structures, special constructions, sports venues, and more.
