ProtaStructure Suite 2025: New Features for Structural Engineers

Comprehensive Support for RC Design and Detailing

First and foremost, benefit from extensive support for non-seismic and seismic reinforced concrete (RC) design and detailing across various countries. Thus, your projects will comply with local standards, improving your design accuracy and reducing the need for manual adjustments.

Seismic Checks for Steel Buildings

Moreover, ensure your steel structures are designed to withstand seismic forces with extended support for seismic checks adhering to standards like AISC341 and TBDY2018. Consequently, this feature enhances the safety and reliability of your designs.

Shearwall Moment and Shear Seismic Envelopes (Eurocode 8)

Additionally, incorporate shearwall moment and shear seismic envelopes based on Eurocode 8 into your designs. As a result, this ensures compliance with European standards and enhances the structural integrity of your projects.

Vertical Modal Earthquake Analysis

Accurately analyze the vertical earthquake effects on structures, especially for large span beams, slabs, cantilevers, and transfer members. This feature ensures your designs are robust and capable of withstanding vertical seismic forces.

Dedicated ULS and SLS Combination Groups

Furthermore, streamline your workflow with dedicated combination groups for ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability limit state (SLS) checks in both steel and RC members. The improved load combination editor offers a better user experience and visual presentation.

Orthotropic Shell Elements for One-Way Slabs

Specifically, model and analyze cast-in-place or prefabricated one-way slabs with orthotropic shell elements. This improvement speeds up your design process and ensures accurate modeling of one-way slab behavior.

Multi-Mode Pushover Analysis (MPA)

Enhance your seismic assessments with the new multi-mode pushover analysis feature. Thus, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of irregular buildings with higher mode effects.

ProtaSteel Enhancements

Leverage ProtaSteel’s support for IdeaStatica Export, new connection macros, partial model updates, and extended localization. These features streamline your steel design and detailing processes.

New Modeling Tools

Increase your productivity with new modeling tools such as space trusses, castellated beams, copy/move special, and match properties. These tools simplify complex modeling tasks and enhance your workflow efficiency.
