Practical solution for practicing engineers to conduct detailed analysis of structures against blast, earthquake, progressive collapse; assessing demolition safety and checking building vulnerabilities under various short and long term extreme loading conditions.
Extreme Loading® for Structures Software or ELS, is an advanced non-linear structural analysis software tool designed specifically for structural engineers. ELS allows structural engineers to study the 3D behavior of structures through both the continuum and discrete stages of loading. This includes static and dynamic loads such as those generated by blast, seismic events, impact, progressive collapse, and wind.
Unlike many structural analysis software tools which are based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), ELS utilizes a non-linear solver based on the Applied Element Method (AEM).
This allows ELS is to automatically analyze structural behavior during elastic and inelastic modes including the automatic yielding of reinforcement, detection and generation of plastic hinges, buckling & post-buckling, crack propagation, membrane action & P-Delta effect, and separation of elements. The resulting debris and impacts with structural elements are also automatically analyzed and stress redistribution is inherently calculated.

Inaugular Release of FORUM 8Engineer's Studio
Based on the success of UC-Frame3D, the new Engineer's Studio continue to analyse the nonlinear behaviour of the entire structures , (or substructures) with beam elements or a layers of flat plate elements.
The advanced 3D fiber element, which was well-received by UC-win/FRAME3D users, as well as the flat plate element based on the Reissner-Mindlin theory also make Engineer's Studio stands out.
Static and dynamic analyses can be conducted simultaneously with consideration of material and geometric nonlinearity (large displacements).
A flat plate element can be made into a laminated structure with multiple layers in the direction of thickness, each layer with an individually definable material and linear or nonlinear settings. The globally recognised reinforced concrete nonlinear constitutive law (distributed crack model), developed at the University of Tokyo concrete research laboratory, is adopted as the concrete nonlinear constitutive law applied to the flat plate elements.
The flat plate element of this product expands the RC element from UC-win/WCOMD to be multilayered in the direction of thickness Therefore the not only of in-plane deformations but the nonlinear behaviour of out-of-plane deformations have also been enabled. This makes Engineer's Studio the definite choice for both researchers and engineers seeking reliable analysis results.
LIMCON v3 update (use of lower grade steel and bolt in Singapore)
In the event that Class 1 steel cannot be obtained from manufacturers/suppliers in Singapore, the design strengths of steel and bolt have to be adjusted as per specified in the BCA's BC 1:2008 circular (clauses under section 5.2 and 5.3).
To facilitate using lower grade steel and bolt, LIMCON users can now download the latest patch here, and follow the instructions in this guide.

Integrated Analysis, Design and Drafting Solutions for Multi-story Concrete Building Structures (with or without precast structural components)
complete design and detailing of
slabs, beams, columns and walls
3D static and dynamic analysis
" .... to meet the project targets, it is not how many tools you have, but how well the design process is streamlined to make you more productive..."
SE CAD is an integrated Computer-aided Analysis, Design and Detailing (CADD) software for cast-in situ, prefabricated and/or precast multi-story building structures. It was developed to
streamline fundamental tasks and redefine traditional design processes of precast/prefabricated multi-story concrete building.
SE CAD is the ONLY solution that enables structural engineers to leverage on the advantages of both conventional in-situ and precast/prefabricated reinforced concrete technologies for their building projects.
