Construction businesses that want a powerful frame and flooring software
About Framing
Framing, the design tool for timber frame and floor construction, is a modular solution to fit the needs and requirements of today’s offsite construction market. Utilized extensively by timber frame manufacturers, structural engineers and design practices, the Framing software is used for the detailing of timber frame buildings in 3D, producing comprehensive material schedules, and manufacturing drawings for manual production along with direct links to industry automated machinery and saws. Framing is used for the detailing of various different types of timber frame buildings. Whilst working in primarily a 2D environment, a 3D model is created based on the user’s input, thereby allowing easy checking of levels and heights within the application.

PowerPad
MasterSeries PowerPad is a complete structural analysis and design suite. It is the ideal software choice for engineers who require a wide range of design capabilities at an extremely affordable price. By bundling lite versions of the core analysis and design programs, MasterSeries PowerPad delivers a wide range of well-established programs (not pro-forma's) at less than a third of their full version price. At the heart of PowerPad is our powerful MasterFrame analysis module. This integrates directly with our steel, concrete, composite, and timber design modules to give you a seamless, fully integrated, 3D analysis and design environment. PowerPad (Student Edition) is a free version of our commercial PowerPad Plus structural analysis and design software suite. PowerPad is not a set of proformas, but lite copies of our real programs bundled together. Simple steel, concrete, and timber beam designer. Analysis of beams, trusses, plane frames, grillages and space frames.

RSTAB
RSTAB is a powerful analysis and design software for 3D beam, frame, or truss structure calculations, reflecting the current state of the art and helping structural engineers meet requirements in modern civil engineering.
Use the successful structural frame & truss analysis software RSTAB for your design of beam, frame, or truss structures consisting of steel, reinforced concrete, timber, aluminum, or other materials.
With RSTAB, you can easily and quickly define a structural model and then calculate the internal forces, deformations, and support reactions. There are design add-ons at your side that you can use to consider the material- and standard-specific requirements.

DraftVano
DraftVano is a browser-based timber-framing and cut-list planning tool for DIY builders, woodworkers and small workshops. Its six adjustable project builders cover media walls, garage tote racks, workbenches, bookcases, BBQ island frames and sauna frames, with millimeter or inch dimensions, 3D previews and board-quantity estimates. Users can review fixed-size PDF samples and buy configured blueprint PDFs; optional M-04 planning guidance is offered separately. A free one-dimensional timber cut-list calculator accepts piece lengths, quantities, stock length, blade kerf and end allowances, then suggests board layouts and provides CSV, print and share-link outputs without an account. Each calculation is limited to one timber section and stock length; its heuristic does not guarantee a globally minimum-waste layout. DraftVano supports planning and material estimation, not structural certification, two-dimensional sheet nesting or CNC/DXF production.

123Build
Within 123Build’s user-friendly environment, you simply draw a beam of frame structure on the screen. Next, the model is completed graphically and interactively with boundary conditions, permanent loads and variable loads. 123Build does all the work for you and always delivers an optimal result: the beam with the smallest height, the steel profile having the lesser weight or the girder with the maximum deflection limits. That way you can design as well economical as fast. 123Build is a complete solution which offers you all necessary functionality for optimal structural design, up to the creation of a concise and highly readable analysis report. On top of that, 123Build presents you a reinforcement sketch and list of material quantities: total volume timber and concrete, total weight and volume of reinforcement, painting surface and weight of steel.
