Simcenter Simsolid
Simcenter Simsolid is a Siemens simulation and structural analysis tool that helps designers and engineers analyze fully featured CAD assemblies without geometry simplification or meshing. By removing two of the most time-consuming steps in traditional FEA, it allows teams to validate structural performance much faster. The software can handle large and complex assemblies, including models with rough contact surfaces, gaps, or overlapping geometry. Simcenter Simsolid delivers accurate results in seconds to minutes on a standard PC, making it useful for rapid design comparison and simulation-driven development. It supports a wide range of analysis types, including linear and nonlinear statics, thermal analysis, modal analysis, fatigue analysis, dynamic simulations, buckling, composites, and random response. With CAD interoperability, advanced connections, materials, boundary conditions, and visualization tools, Simcenter Simsolid helps teams bring better products to market faster.

FRILO
FRILO is a structural analysis and design suite for civil and structural engineers that delivers a wide range of calculation, verification, and modelling tools to assess the load-bearing capacity, stability, and serviceability of components and full structures in concrete, steel, timber, masonry, foundation, and geotechnical engineering according to Eurocodes and applicable standards. It is modular and includes specialized programs (for beams, columns, plates, foundations, soil mechanics, and more) that support component-oriented calculations with intuitive inputs and verifiable results, helping engineers handle everyday structural tasks efficiently and with clear documentation. FRILO integrates tools like BIM-Connector interfaces for importing analytical models from IFC/SAF formats, a Document Designer for generating standard-compliant reports, and continuous updates to standards, workflows, and material libraries.

IDEA StatiCa
IDEA StatiCa 25.0 is a world-leading structural design software that enables engineers to model, analyze, and code-check steel connections, concrete D-regions, and anchoring with unprecedented speed and accuracy. It lets you build and verify anchors or cast-in plates with U-, L-, or I-shaped rebars in custom foundations using a 3D CBFEM engine; design and fully check concrete walls and D-regions with ULS/SLS reporting; and create everything from simple bolted or welded beam-to-column connections to complex moment connections using over 250 predefined templates and parametric design workflows. Seamless BIM integration and automated links with major CAD and FEA tools ensure data synchronization, while its patented Component-Based Finite Element Model delivers true structural behavior, not approximations. Version 25.0 expands anchoring capabilities, streamlines initial connection setups, and evolves the checkbot app into an interactive design tool.
