What software is used for steel structure design?

Software used in steel structure design;

1: If you are purely engaged in design, use PKPM, 3D3S,

The PKPM interface is easy to understand. The software of China Institute of Building Research has a large number of users in domestic design institutes, which can be said to be the most widely used software in China at present. Personally, I feel that the query calculation result is not intuitive.

3D3S is very suitable for modeling, and the new version is also good. If the structural theory is good, our own arbitrary spatial structure design module can make various models. Disadvantages: Not very stable

PS2000 is the best drawing, suitable for quick quotation. Because there are many workshops using traveling cranes in metallurgical industry, PS2000 has considerable advantages as a steel structure workshop using traveling cranes. Concrete column steel beam is the most mature. Disadvantages: Generally speaking, the amount of steel used is large.

2; SSDD is the product of the combination of foreign analysis engines and domestic specifications, and it is also the only software that uses the second-order analysis method. Because of the different analysis methods, individual control terms are very different from the traditional linear stiffness ratio method. The overall calculation results are not much different from other software; Modeling is more convenient. The node design is very good. Disadvantages: the painting is not good

3; MTS (developed by Professor Li Guoqiang of Tongji University) can be tried out for free, and its interface is similar to that of SSDD, a little better than SSDD, but not as good as 3D3S. Power plant boilers are complicated, so it is suggested to use XSTEEL for drawing. As for calculation, STAAD has a good interface with it.

4. If AUto-CAD and sap2000 are used to disassemble the drawings.

5, in fact, the software is not used much, but it should be used more carefully. Of course, mastering multiple softwares flexibly can reduce your workload.
