VersaFrame

Available for both the Cloud and local desktop.

VersaFrame offers cutting-edge computational power (e.g. steel design, concrete design, timber design, cold formed steel design, cold formed steel custom shape maker, plate elements, brick elements, p-delta analysis, sparse solver, frequency analysis, etc.) at a very affordable price.

VersaFrame is ideal for the engineer who designs 90% of our infrastructure. The program has all the features needed to ‘get the job done’ without becoming overly complex.

Cloud Based

Aluminum Design

Design or check aluminum members for axial loads, biaxial bending, and deflections. Supported shapes include wide flanges, tubes, angles, channels, tees, pipes, and double angles.

Steel Design

Steel design software that easily designs or checks steel beams, columns, and single span beam columns using the ASD and LRFD standards.

Timber Design

Design or check any continuous beam or column using the latest building codes (NDS, IBC, ASCE) in just a couple minutes. Unlimited load and support conditions and much more.

Cold Formed Steel

Cold Formed Steel Design is a completely NEW program with a very attractive and simple User Interface. CFS will design Flexural and Axial members for standard shapes defined by AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) and more.

Cold Formed Steel Custom Shape Maker Module

Calculate the centroidal axis locations, moments of inertia, radius of gyration, section moduli, and product moment of inertia for any shape.

Concrete Beam Design

Concrete design software that designs one-way flexural members, including beams, one-way slabs, and joists.

Concrete Column Design

Concrete Column Design is a software that will design or check concrete columns for axial tension, compression, and biaxial moments.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Inputs can be made graphically, with spreadsheets or via DXF. All model data is stored in spreadsheets that can be accessed at any time. Changes made graphically are instantly made in the spreadsheets and vice versa. You can also import model from one VersaFrame file to another.
  • Fully Integrated concrete and steel design; see details below.
  • ​Powerful editing features such as undo/redo,
    duplicate, array, move, scale, delete, revolve, extrude, beam split, nodes at intersections, sub-mesh shells, node and element merging, explode members at nodes, automated orphan node removal, freeze except plane and freeze except level.
  • ​In addition to the industry standard 64-bit solver, VersaFrame offers a 128-bit solver thatprovides unmatched precision and reliability for numerically ‘tough’ structures.
  • Ultra-fast and efficient sparse matrix solver in addition to traditional skyline solver. The sparse matrix solver can be configured for parallel processors/cores and restricted RAM access.
  • CAD-quality graphical interface (OpenGL) supports real-time pan, zoom and rotate as well as Window, Pick and Cross selection methods. Additional CAD-style utilities include drawing cues and member object snaps.
  • Visualization tools such as to-scale graphic rendering and the ability to freeze/thaw parts of a model make editing and viewing large/complex models enjoyable.
  • ​Command Line Input – this optional feature is for those familiar with AutoCAD. Just like AutoCAD, you can key-in commands, input and set up aliases for commands.
