Structure templates
Every template builds a complete model — members, plates, supports, groups and loads — from a handful of sizes. Change a span or a storey height and it rebuilds. Open one in the app, or read its tutorial to learn how that kind of structure is designed.
BuildingsMulti-storey frameMoment frame on a rectangular grid with secondary beams, floor slabs and cladding.Open in the appTutorial
BuildingsFlat slab buildingColumns carrying flat slabs, analysed as plates: no beams, the slab spans between the columns.Open in the appTutorial
BuildingsShear wall corePerimeter frame around a central concrete core; the core walls are analysed as plates and take the sway.Open in the appTutorial
BuildingsStairDog-leg steel stair: stringers, half and floor landings framed by landing beams on posts.Open in the appTutorial
IndustrialPortal frame shedDuo-pitch steel portal frames with purlins, cladding and end-bay bracing.Open in the appTutorial
IndustrialWarehouse with cranePortal frame warehouse with an overhead travelling crane on runway beams carried by column brackets.Open in the appTutorial
IndustrialPipe rackMoment-frame bents with knee braces, longitudinal struts and bracing, carrying pipe levels.Open in the appTutorial
IndustrialSteel truss roofPitched Pratt roof trusses on columns, linked by purlins, with cladding.Open in the appTutorial
IndustrialSpace frame roofDouble-layer square-on-square offset grid on perimeter columns.Open in the appTutorial
BridgesGirder bridgeContinuous multi-girder bridge with cross-girders, on two-column piers with cap beams.Open in the appTutorial
BridgesTruss bridgeThrough bridge: two Pratt trusses with floor beams, stringers, deck and wind bracing.Open in the appTutorial
BridgesCable-stayed footbridgeTwo equal spans hung from a central H-pylon by semi-fan stays to edge girders.Open in the appTutorial
BridgesArch footbridgeTied arch: two parabolic ribs, the deck hung from vertical hangers, struts over the walkway.Open in the appTutorial
TowersLattice towerSquare tapering tower: four legs, X-bracing in every face, horizontals and plan bracing.Open in the appTutorial
TowersMonopoleTapered tubular pole in segments with an antenna platform and mounts near the top.Open in the appTutorial
TowersElevated water tankBraced legs with ring beams carrying a water tank; the water weight acts on the top ring.Open in the appTutorial
FoundationsRaft foundationRaft slab on Winkler soil springs with ground beams on the column lines, loaded by the columns.Open in the appTutorial
FoundationsRetaining wallCantilever wall stem analysed as a plate fixed along its base, under at-rest earth pressure, with a capping beam.Open in the appTutorial
ElementsContinuous beamA strip of deck on a pair of continuous beams over pinned supports, tied by cross beams.Open in the appTutorial
ElementsCantilever canopyA row of columns with propped cantilever arms, edge beams and purlins carrying the roof.Open in the appTutorial
OffshoreOffshore jacketFour battered legs with X-braced faces and plan frames, a deck on top, Morison drag below the waterline.Open in the appTutorial
