Section Maker - Section Properties Calculation

* Interactive graphical section modelling

* Instantaneous calculations

* Sections database management

A custom structural shape is sometimes the best solution to your structural design problem. But designing and calculating properties of custom shapes is a time consuming, error prone and frustrating exercise.

Section Maker helps you to design a shape simply and quickly and then integrate your shape directly into the Multiframe library of sections. Section Maker completely eliminates the need for any calculation of section properties by automatically computing the properties of steel, concrete, timber or sections made from any other material.

Whether the shape is complex, or even if it includes holes and multiple material types, Section Maker's range of drawing tools lets you effortlessly construct the shape you require. If your data comes from another CAD system or drawing, you can easily import it directly into Section Maker As you work with your shape, at every change the section properties are instantly re-calculated and displayed on-screen.
