WELCOME TO prota structure
Fast, accurate Analysis and Design of your Building Structures
ProtaStructure is an innovative structural BIM solution for structural engineers to model, analyze and design buildings quickly and accurately.
ProtaStructure overview:
PROTA
From one central model easily compare different schemes and automate your steel and concrete design, reducing design time and increasing project profitability.
Use advanced integrated features including grouped member design, 3D FE Analysis, staged construction and seismic design, foundations and punching shear checks to quickly produce results.
Handle changes with ease and seamlessly coordinate projects with architects, owners and other stakeholders with intelligent BIM integration.
One Central Model
Build one model. ProtaStructure enables you to model simple or complex concrete and steel buildings with speed and ease.
True Structural BIM Modeling
Use physical objects including trusses, beams and slabs to create and visualize models quickly and efficiently.
Leading BIM Integration
Developed with BIM in mind seamlessly communicate and refine models with other leading BIM systems including Autodesk Revit, Tekla Structures, ArchiCAD and latest data formats including IFC’s.
Automated Loading
Save time with automatic loading including yield line, finite element, wind and seismic loading coupled with automated load combination generation to your chosen code of practice.
Advanced Analysis
Take advantage of features including Finite Elements, Rigid Zones, Staged Construction, Seismic, static and non-linear approaches to solve both simple and complex projects.
Automated Design
Fully automated design of all steel, concrete, and foundations elements, to range of international codes including British, European, US and Seismic Standards.
Optimised for Economy
Use interactive features including auto grouping, iterative transformed section design, and merged core walls to optimise building design economy. Quickly assess a range of design alternatives to establish the most cost-effective solution for your clients.
Advanced Seismic Analysis and Design
ProtaStructure delivers advanced Seismic Analysis and Design technology allowing engineers to confidently deliver projects to demanding earthquake code regulations. See how automated checks for irregularities, capacity design and building rehabilitation can save you hours of design time.
Seismic Assessment
Use advanced features including pushover analysis to assess and rehabilitate existing structures.
Manage Changes
Easily deal with inevitable project changes and quickly check and update your design where required.
Seamless Documentation
Clear, concise documentation of all your design and seamless high-quality drawing production using included ProtaDetails and ProtaSteel.
BIM Collaboration is key
Save valuable time by coordinating projects early on with other project stakeholders including architects and owners. Synchronize models with other leading BIM platforms including Revit and ArchiCAD.
