Solution in Structural Engineering Software - Consteel
Project Overview
Advancing Structural Engineering with Consteel
SOFTIC embarked on a transformative journey with the creation of Consteel, a unique structural analysis and design software tailored for steel, composite, and RC structures. Our goal was to offer structural engineers a comprehensive tool that not only enhances their design capabilities but also provides a realistic modeling experience.
Challenges and SOFTIC’s Strategic Solutions
The challenge lay in developing a software that could handle complex structural designs with precision and ease. SOFTIC's response was to build a platform that not only supports automated stability design for steel structures but also integrates advanced features for realistic structural modeling.

SOFTIC’s Key Contributions and Features
- Realistic Structural Modeling: SOFTIC emphasized the accurate positioning of members, supports, and loads, considering all eccentricities for a true-to-life structural representation.
- Versatile Cross-Section Selection: We provided a wide range of predefined standard libraries, alongside parametric wizards, for easy creation of steel, concrete, or composite sections, and even custom thin-walled profiles.
- Specialized Object Insertion: Engineers can easily add haunches, tapered members, or shear fields and automatically apply various loads including crane, meteorological, and earthquake.
- Comprehensive Model Analysis: SOFTIC ensured that Consteel transforms precise structural models into beam or shell finite elements, with special 7 DOF beam elements, offering unparalleled applicability in steel structure analysis.
- Advanced Analysis Options: We incorporated specific calculations like linear buckling analysis, plastic hinge analysis, and dynamic modal analysis, along with unique analyses such as automatic imperfection and buckling sensitivity analysis.
- Integrated RC and Composite Member Design: Consteel now allows for the design of concrete and composite elements, using consistent analysis results with the main steel structure.
- Comprehensive Structural Connection Design: We embedded a structural connection design module within Consteel, ensuring all connections are updated and checked as the structural model evolves.
- Global Model Integration: SOFTIC advanced Consteel's capabilities to integrate connection types directly into the global model, enhancing mechanical interaction and achieving more economical results.
- Seamless Software Integration: Ensuring smooth data transition, Consteel supports data exchange through IFC files, Tekla Structures, and a unique plugin for Rhino-Grasshopper integration.
- Extensive Documentation Engine: We developed a powerful documentation engine within Consteel, enabling engineers to create detailed, customizable reports and documents that meet diverse project requirements.
