REPORT
1.0. Brief Description:-

A few decades ago when the computers and softer were in their nascent stage,
the planning and construction of building was quit slow. but the rapid
technological revolution has now enabled the civil engineering companies to
speed up the construction process while ensuring quality and strength of the
building.

Today, there are several software available out there to design, analyze and build
large project in no time. the 3D integrated structural design and analysis software
are widely common among structural designer. these structural analysis and
design software boost productivity and are user-friendly. they make structural
modeling and load analyzing more seamless and efficient, thus reducing the time
and effort required for finite element analysis.

Many of these design /analysis software even include feature like analysis of
diversified profile of structural element, modeling structure of various material,
outputting analysis and graphical file, and checking for geometrical error. in the
article, we have highlighted five best software for civil and structural
engineering.

AUTODESK AUTOCAD 2021:-

Today, our job is much easier because of AutoCAD. Maybe your boss is forcing
you to use AutoCAD. But there are other reasons to use it – some of which may
help you pass that course or get home from the office a little earlier.Here are some
CAD advantages:Accuracy. AutoCAD is equipped for accuracy to 14 critical
digits (ask your math professor why one digit is more significant than another).
That‟s way more precise than the best manual drafter could ever be Appearance.
AutoCAD-created drawings are cleaner, simpler to use when minimized, and more
predictable than literally drafted drawings. Reuse. Its easy to reuse because we can
directly copy and paste drawings of other projects. Scalability. You draw things
full-size in AutoCAD on a boundlessly enormous drawing sheet. This not only
eliminates the possibility of scaling errors as you draw, but it also lets you print
your drawings at any scale. Sharing work. Drawing files can be shared with
consultants and contractors who can add their own information without having to

RDTCP DHANGAWADI 8

transmit drawings by email or transfer them to Webspace. 3D benefits. You’re

not limited to 2D space; AutoCAD’s drawing space is three-dimensional so you
can create models of your projects and generate drawings from them

STAAD PRO:-

Another Widely Used software available is STAAD Pro that is used for Structural
analysis by civil engineers. It supports over 90 different steel, concrete, timber,
aluminium codes which makes it different from other software. It is Interoperable
with various other application to improve collaboration of various software
involved in one project. It provides various features such as Analytical Modelling,
Building Planner, Autodrafter, Physical Modelling, Advanced Concrete, and Slab
Design, Earthquake Mode and much more. This Tool is much popular because of
some of the features available in this software that’s not available in other ones.

Example: Earthquake mode served to be a really helpful feature for Civil

Engineers as it creates a recommendation for building the structure in Seismic
regions to ensure that structure can stand strong even after seismic load without
collapsing. This all the features combined make a perfect tool for Civil Engineers.

NAVISWORKS:-

Autodesk Navisworks is a 3D structure collaboration effort that gives us a chance

to import models from different platforms to make an aggregated design. And the
last design is a virtual model where you can explore continuously and make
walkthroughs that permit a better comprehension of our structure expectation.

This virtual model can be allocated to different groups to discover and fix issues,
subsequently, it allows for more productive management and coordination of the
project.

Navisworks software can be primarily used by the Industry professionals that

enable users to open, combine 3D Models and navigate around them in Real- Time.
Real-Time Navigation helps you to experience what you have built beforehand. It

AUTODESK REVIT 2021:-

Products of Autodesk used for Modelling. Autodesk is a building information

modelling software for structural engineers to design structure, building, and
components in 3D and gives access to the building information from the building
model database. Due to the Revit Rendering Engine, users can make objects more
realistic.

It comes with predefined materials that can be modified as per users needs.

Modifications can be done by applying various textures, changing size, shape,

brightness, hue, saturation, intensity, etc. With the maturity of Revit Architecture
in recent years, more and more firms and users are switching from AutoCAD.
General contractors and owners are realizing the potential of BIM and Revit
Architecture and requiring it as a deliverable. Although easy to learn, Revit

and analysis of the structural systems. It is built with various templates that the
user can start from and have a broad range of modelling options.

SAP2000 allows civil engineers to build their design and then it is gone for
analysis and then software tells how the structure will behave under every
condition and tells it weaknesses.

The SAP name has been synonymous with state-of-the-art techniques since its
introduction more than 30 years back. SAP2000 follows in a similar convention
featuring a refined, natural and adaptable UI powered by analysis engine for
