Analysis results can be directly associated with beam files, thereby saving much time and reducing errors when transferring data.

Although the Eurocodes modules are not yet available for design, beams generated with other design codes such as BS 5400 can be used to create Eurocodes analysis models.

Beam files can be associated with longitudinal and transverse members, thereby automatically creating member properties and saving much time and effort. In effect, the analysis and beams models are fully integrated.
