FRAMECAD ® STRUCTURE ENG 1115 Copyright 2015 FRAMECAD® Ltd. All rights reserved FRAMECAD ® Structure is a comprehensive and powerful detailing and design software package with advanced computer-aided engineering capability. FRAMECAD ® Structure makes real time engineering calculations as the designs are created, analysing loads, deflections and other forces, making it an easy process to check for compliant engineering. Powerful Software to Speed up Your Design and Save You Money FRAMECAD ® Structure is a powerful computer-aided engineering package which allows you to save time and money by automating engineering calculations which would otherwise have to be done manually. FRAMECAD ® Structure does over 25,000 calculations per square meter of roof and walls in seconds; a task which would take days or potentially weeks if done manually. Not only is FRAMECAD ® Structure fast, but its accurate. FRAMECAD ® Structure produces accurate calculations automatically, meaning there is no margin of error which manual calculations may include. Save money and time, and reduce the likelihood of error, by using FRAMECAD ® Structure. Instant Engineering Analysis FRAMECAD ® Structure makes real time engineering calculations as the designs are created, analysing loads, deflections and other forces, making it an easy process to check for compliant engineering. The software generates a design checklist which is automatically generated based on the building code and other factors. The enhanced 3D view shows you all components of the framing and the package has interactive joist, truss and wall builders. Reduce Your Engineering Costs The skill and efficiency means that buildings are designed and engineered to exactly what is required, reducing time and cost spent on engineering costs. FRAMECAD ® Structure can typically reduce engineering costs by up to 80% per tonne and save up to 30% on engineering, design and resource costs. As FRAMECAD ® Structure provides real-time engineering as the building is designed, this reduces the engineering input and means that external engineering costs are greatly reduced. The payback on FRAMECAD ® Structure from reducing engineering costs can be as fast as within two house designs. Finally, because FRAMECAD ® Structure provides automated engineering calculations, non-engineering designers can do more of the design work, reducing engineering costs. Reduce Material Costs FRAMECAD ® Structure uses material as efficiently as possible, reducing wastage. The material savings from using FRAMECAD ® Structure can be as much as 30% on roof truss designs, saving you further money. Open Up New Markets FRAMECAD ® Structure creates additional freedom and new possibilities for you to scale the use of light gauge steel framing in the market and open up additional profitable design, manufacturing and build possibilities by being able to quickly and cost effectively design and detail buildings. 1
