ShapeBuilder calculates geometric section properties, like area, moment of inertia, etc. It handles multiple materials and composite sections. ShapeBuilder also performs advanced stress analysis, cracked analysis, and calculates the strength of reinforced concrete sections.

ShapeBuilder is a powerful utility for anyone who needs to calculate geometric or structural properties of plane areas. The primary purpose of ShapeBuilder is to help engineers determine properties of custom or combined sections for structural desig.

Custom Shapes
Create built-up or cut-down structural shapes quickly using a variety of techniques.

Easy Editing
Powerful graphical editor allows you to modify or change things.

Composite Shapes
Find transformed section properties for shapes in multiple materials.

Stress Analysis
Investigate bending and shear stress distribution under body-force loading. Accurate finite element results.

Export to VisualAnalysis
Create a library of shapes. Use these shapes as member elements in your VisualAnalysis projects. Even get design checks for certain profiles.

Manufactured Shapes
Includes built-in libraries of shapes from AISC, CISC, AISI, NDS, ADM, EuroSteel, Australian Steel, Rebar. Includes Historic AISC shapes, too.

Shear and Torsion
Calculate torsion and warping constants for open or closed sections. View the warping function graphically.

Graphical Reports
Create a concise one-page report with graphics to show all the calculated properties. Include dimensions or stress results.
