I have been looking at ArcelorMittal Portal+ design software (v1.39) from https://sections.arcelormittal.com/design_aid/design_software/EN

It seems to be a fair complete prelim tool for portal frame design to eurocodes with lots of clear info in calc reports.

Has anybody used it in earnest before? If so what is your opinion of it's performance, limitations etc?

The UI is poor for initial navigation but it seems like most parameters are available to tweak once you find them.

I've used it and found it good. It pretty much does the full frame design (not connections etc). I think it only does vanilla EC and French NA for wind - certainly not UK NA, so watch that.. Also not asymmetry and other odd geometry
