QuickStructure is a streamlined analysis and design tool for everyday structural engineering problems. It provides an intuitive, form-based interface to analyze and design standard structural components according to major international building codes (e.g., ACI 318, AISC, Eurocode). The software is built for speed and ease of use, allowing engineers to rapidly iterate through design options, verify assumptions, and generate basic calculation reports without the complexity and setup time of larger finite element analysis (FEA) suites. It is ideal for feasibility studies, preliminary sizing, and educational purposes.
QuickStructure is a rapid structural analysis and design software designed for Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Building Designers, Architects, Contractors, and Students who need to perform quick yet reliable analysis and code-checking of common structural elements like beams, columns, footings, and retaining walls during preliminary design or for smaller projects.
Rapid Member Analysis & Design: Analyze and design common elements: continuous beams, columns (axial + bending), isolated footings, combined footings, retaining walls, and simple frames.
Integrated Load Generation & Combinations: Automatically generates loads (dead, live, wind, seismic) based on built-in codes and applies appropriate load combinations (ASD, LRFD).
Code Compliance Checks: Performs code checks for concrete (ACI), steel (AISC), masonry, and wood design, providing pass/fail status and utilization ratios.
Interactive Graphics & Instant Feedback: Provides graphical representation of the structure, bending moment diagrams, shear diagrams, and deflection plots. Changes to geometry or loads show instant results.
Automatic Report Generation: Creates concise, professional calculation reports in RTF or PDF format, suitable for project documentation or client review.
Library of Standard Sections: Includes libraries of standard steel sections (W-shapes, channels), rebar sizes, and wood sections for quick selection.
This major release focuses on a modernized interface, expanded code support, and enhanced design capabilities.
Completely Modernized User Interface: A new, ribbon-based UI with a dark/light theme, dockable windows, and a more intuitive workflow for building up a structural model.
Updated Design Code Libraries: Full implementation of the latest editions of key design codes (e.g., ACI 318-19, AISC 360-22, Eurocode updates).
Enhanced Seismic & Wind Load Wizard: More sophisticated and code-specific tools for automatically generating seismic lateral forces (ASCE 7, IBC) and wind pressures.
New Analysis & Design Modules: Addition of new component types, such as shear wall design, foundation mats, and connection design templates.
Improved Performance & Interoperability: Faster solver engine and better import/export capabilities for exchanging data with CAD software.
