In addition to the features shared with Metalpla See shared features

According to Eurocode 5 and the latest revision of the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE)

Estrumad includes the following modules or features:

  • Complete buckling analysis by combinations. All the power of Metalbuckling integrated into Estrumad.
  • New report generator with improved export
  • New automated calculations. The lateral-torsional buckling coefficient c1 is determined internally based on the member forces.
  • Tables created by users travel with the FIE file, but existing user tables are respected.

And from version XE4

  • Document manager. Customise your reports by adding any images you want, as well as your company logo in the headers.
  • Download examples/templates from the cloud, so you can have a project ready in minutes.
  • Use of all processors in the calculation. Calculating a structure is now even faster.
  • Description text on members.
  • Drawing of stresses and envelopes with colour gradation.
  • Improved import of DXF files.
  • Improved editing of load cases and combinations, as well as automatic renumbering
  • Improved import of DXF files for calculating the mechanical properties of sections
  • Drawing of reactions in the graphical result outputs.
  • Improved calculation of the self-weight of variable-section members
  • Autosave. Set how often you want the program to save your structure automatically
  • Improved PDF export with the option to embed fonts in the document
  • New export options in the results display (HTML, Word, PowerPoint…)
  • Validation of loads on members

And from version XE3

  • 32-bit and 64-bit versions, the latter up to 25% faster than the 32-bit one
  • Option to upload structures to the cloud and view them from a mobile device (tablet/smartphone)
  • Complete design of any steel structure, including automatic sizing
  • Automatic generation of common typologies: trusses, industrial buildings, buildings, towers…
  • DXF import and export
  • Base plates and footings
  • Crane runway beams
  • Dynamic and buckling analysis
  • Automatic load generation and design of purlins for industrial buildings
  • Fire design
  • Seismic design
  • Design of semi-rigid members
  • Calculation of the mechanical properties of sections from their DXF drawing
  • Link with Revit 2016 and 2015 (separate module)
