Structural Calculation Software
A must-have engineering tool for efficient validation and optimization of steel beams and columns.
An essential tool for structural engineers, enabling quick validation and optimization of steel columns and beams per American LRFD/ASD, Canadian S16, European Eurocode 3, and Indian IS 800 standards.
The Steel Calculator™ allows to quickly verify, design and optimize steel beams and columns. It is also an efficient validation tool to verify design results of specific elements of complex models. It eliminates the necessity of inputting analysis models or manually ensuring compliance with standard section requirements.
The Steel Calculator™ is used as a standalone application or in combination with the GSE™ Steel program, part of the GSE™ General Structural Engineering software.

Choose from multiple built-in models:
The input data consists of selecting a section shape and defining the basic loads, the design parameters and the geometric limits. The results of the Steel Calculator™ are summarized for each member and displayed on the screen, detailed reports are also available.
The Steel Calculator™ can rapidly perform the computations for continuous beams and columns to carry one of the following tasks:
Required inputs: section types, basic loads, geometric limits and design parameters. To account for steel shape availability, the program can also perform verification on all section shapes of a given category.
• Tension
• Compression
• Bending
• Shear
• Bearing (supports)
• Tension-Bending
• Compression-Bending
The steel standards with which the verification and optimization calculations are made must be selected. Users must define the combined loads for verification and design computations. The combined loads are automatically generated with the Steel Calculator™.
