- 3. AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application by AUTODESK. AutoCAD was first released in December 1982. It is used to draw a plan, section & elevation of any objects. AUTOCAD 2021 version is the 24th version of AUTOCAD software finally released on 25th March, 2020.
- 5. STAAD or (STAAD Pro) is a structural analysis and design software application originally developed by Research Engineers International in 1997 and licensed by Bentley Systems at 2005. It supports over 90 international steel, concrete, timber & aluminium design codes. It can make use of various forms of analysis from the traditional static analysis to more recent analysis methods like p-delta analysis, geometric non-linear analysis, Pushover analysis (Static-Non Linear Analysis) or a buckling analysis.
- 6. It can also make use of various forms of dynamic analysis methods from time history analysis to response spectrum analysis. The response spectrum analysis feature is supported for both user defined spectra as well as a number of international code specified spectra. After licensed by Bentley System, First revision of software is done on 29th June 2007. STAAD Pro Connect Version 22, Update 6 release on 4th April, 2021. STAAD PRO Structural Analysis & Designing Programme
- 8. ETABS is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings. ETABS has been developed specifically for multi-story commercial and residential building structures, such as office towers, apartments and hospitals. ETABS, was used to create the mathematical model of the Burj Kalifa. Its first version released on 04th Dec 2007 and currently we are using version 19 released on 23rd Dec 2020.
- 10. SAP2000 is general-purpose civil-engineering software ideal for the analysis and design of any type of structural system. Basic and advanced systems, ranging from 2D to 3D, of simple geometry to complex, may be modeled, analyzed, designed, and optimized using a practical and intuitive object-based modeling environment that simplifies and streamlines the engineering process. SAP2000 is intended for use on civil structures such as dams, communication towers, stadiums, industrial plants and buildings. Its first version released in the year 1996 and currently we are using version 23 released on 19th May 2021.
- 12. Tekla Structures, the most advanced structural BIM software, lets you create, combine, manage and share multi-material 3D models packed with valuable construction information. You can use Tekla Structures throughout the project, from buildings and infrastructure conceptual planning to fabrication, construction and maintenance, for design, detailing and information management. It released on 10th February, 2012 and we are currently using the version Tekla 2021 released on 17th March, 2021.
- 14. ANSYS is a finite element analysis software used to simulate engineering problems. The software creates simulated computer models of structures, electronics, or machine components to simulate strength, toughness, elasticity, temperature distribution, electromagnetism, fluid flow, and other attributes It released in the year 1999 and currently we are using ANSYS 2021 version is released on 20th july 2021.
