structural software
(OP)
Hi all,
I am in the process to decide which structural engineering software to buy,
I've been trying to decide between (for analysis and design) RISA 3D or ADAPT-RC. I mostly work with concrete and steel.
could anyone give an advice?
thanks,
Luis.

If you do any building design for buildings of any size, BIM (Building Information Modeling)is coming.
I mention this becuse there are currently two possibilities of how established design software companies are going to integrate BIM.
1. Integrate their software to work with Autodesk software (AutoCAD, REVIT, etc.)
2. Develop their own drafting software that may or may not easily integrate with other drafting software.
If you design in other industries the above information probably doesn't mean much to you.
The software that I use 90% of the time is something offered by RAM (Advanse or Structural System). RAM Structural System offers design modules for steel and concrete. Advanse also details concrete beams and columns for export to your drafting software.
I also use STAAD Pro.
