design , analyze , and collaborate more accurately with structural engineer tool that support the building information model and ansis process. Auto desk structural design and software help to design more effectively and analysis...
ETABS AND SAFE FOR BUILDING DESIGN
SAP AND STAAD RPO FOR BRIDGES
AutoCAD 3D, STAAD Pro and SAP. those are widely used by structural engineers.
A structural engineer never asks this question , no matter if you have done the design manually or through software , what matters is how accurate is you design.
we mostly use CSI products now days in all over the world, Bentley products are also used by many places including UAE.
Again , it doesn't matter on which software have you done your analysis, what matters is how accurate is your analysis is... soft wares are nothing but to make your analysis quicker and easier .
Etabs , Safe , Sap2000 , Autocad , Revit
Generally for RCC structures up to 4 stories, where lateral forces are not taken in to consideration, SAFE and PROKON softwares are used for analysis and design. For towers, where lateral forces are taken in to consideration, Etabs is used. for steel structures, staad pro. is used.
It depend type of structure you are going to build. Based on you have to select the tools for design. widely used for building structure Etabs, STAADPro, SAP etc.
In UAE highly knowledgeable design engineers are there. They use advanced programmes like:
Pro-e
Unigraphics
AutoCadd 3d Modeling
Solid Works. For Design and Analysis.
