01Geometry and reinforcement

Choose a standard section or define a custom outline, then set the reinforcement layout.

02Materials

Select a design code, concrete and steel strengths, and adjust the advanced parameters.

03Load cases

Enter axial forces and bending moments, or import several load cases at once.

02 / ANALYSE

Section analysis.

Section and load cases are entered once and shared by every analysis.

BIAXIAL BENDING

3D resistance check.

Rotate the interaction surface, select a load case and inspect its check. Colours distinguish loads within the resistance domain, on its boundary and outside it.

  • N–Mx–My interaction surface
  • Checks for each load case
  • Resisting moments

04 / VALIDATION

Results compared with established software.

The SBA engine is checked against known solutions: more than 900 automated checks, including 70 comparisons with published examples from commercial software, replayed with the same assumptions.
