Design and code‑check steel members for strength and serviceability using regional design codes, with full control over effective lengths, flange bracing, torsion conditions, steel grades and connection assumptions.

Automatically size and optimize steel members using multiple optimization criteria and constraints. Engineers can also override section sizes for all members or selected subsets and immediately see updated code-check status to guide iterative redesign.

Simcenter S-Frame Steel supports composite beam design as part of the steel workflow, including automated assignments and calculations used in composite design. Outputs include composite design details that can be carried into reporting to document composite behavior and design decisions.

Evaluate strength, stability and code compliance at each construction stage by modeling preload conditions and temporary states. Compare multiple stages within one interface.

Generate detailed and transparent design reports that include the relevant clause references and equations used for code checks. Reporting can be tailored to show the level of detail needed for internal review, approvals and documentation.
