Structural Analysis Software for Concrete Building Design

Partha Pratim Roy, Vice President (Technical), ADAPT International Pvt. Ltd. Kolkata

For over two decades, engineers worldwide have relied on ADAPT’s industry leading software solutions to achieve the highest levels of design productivity and accuracy in their projects. Since 1981, ADAPT has been the most popular and recognized software for the design of post-tensioned concrete. Now, ADAPT is as widely used for the design of conventionally reinforced concrete structures.

ADAPT-Builder Platform

ADAPT-Builder is the 3D modeling, analysis and design platform for ADAPT-Floor Pro, Modeler, MAT and SOG, and can be used together with ADAPT-PT and RC.

ADAPT is a Premier Autodesk Structural Engineering Partner. Now one can use the 3D building model created in Revit Structure to automatically create detailed design model in the ADAPT-Builder suite. Full bidirectional integration virtually eliminates the need to re-model slabs and foundation systems in ADAPT.

ADAPT Floor Pro is three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Software for Analysis and Design of Concrete and Post-Tensioned Floor Systems. Built on ADAPT’s unique TrueStructure™ modeling and analysis technology, this software provides a powerful, yet easy to use tool for the analysis of all types of slab systems. Unlike other 2D diaphragm-based slab design programs, ADAPT-Floor Pro’s true 3D FEM analysis provides the most accurate results even for the most complex transfer and waffle slabs. Its Dynamic Rebar Design (DRD)™ module gives structural engineers complete control over the design and placement of mild reinforcement, leading to optimized designs. Extensive import and export capabilities further streamline the design process through to the creation of structural drawings.
