ICAD.MENUGeneral DescriptionIs a graphic environment for modelling building-like structures with GT STRUDL

Is based on IntelliCAD and can be used as a pre-processor to GT STRUDL

Generates the structural model of the building, including space frame members for column and beams and shell elements for shear walls and slabs

Creates the input file *.gti (implemented with comments), including static and dynamic loads, which can be edited within GT STRUDL

Defines plastic hinges

EC2 / EC8

General DescriptionAdd-on to GT STRUDL for beam, column and shear wall design according to EC2/8

Program is fully parametrical so as to be easy for the user to insert any national parts of EC2

It also creates floor plan drawings, column details, beam construction drawings, beam sections and tables of reinforcement

IntelliCAD is included in the package for opening and editing the drawings created by the program

Material LibrariesUser can insert all National Parts of EC2

Define forms of equations

Construction Parameters

All calculations are depending on the construction method

Anchorage, lap, spacing, available bar diameters



EC2 / EC8


Beam DesignCombination of seismic action with other actions

Bending and Shear capacity check

Anchorages calculated according to ductility class

Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS) Checks

Changing a bar results in reinforcement of the support, shear reinforcement, column reinforcement

Detailed information for every single bar

Beam is divided into 10 parts and you can see the details for every part
