Design of Steel Composite Beams

Design composite steel beams according to ANSI/AISC 360-10.

Composite Design Extension de poutre is an application that helps engineers to perform the structural analysis and design of composite steel beams in a Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis Professional (Robot) model. The design is performed according to the ANSI/AISC 360-10 code. Using the extension allows full bidirectional integration with Robot.

Using Composite Design Extension de poutre you can:
