IN THE SMALL PRACTICEThe analysis and integrated steel and concretedesign modules in PowerPad are only limited by thenumber of members and otherwise include all thefull version advanced features.

MasterSeries PowerPad combines the astonishingfeatures of the MasterSeries and Microsoft Officeto provide you with the most powerful system forgenerating structural analysis and design reports.

Beam Designers for Concrete, Steel & Timber

PowerPad provides the range of structuralengineering facilities you have always been lookingfor in one package. 2D and 3D analysis and designin steel, concrete, masonry and timber, portalframes, connections, composite beams, masonrypanels and retaining walls and much, much more.

REAL ENGINEERINGEach program in PowerPad is designed to be multi-functional, thus your time will not be wasted creatinghundreds of templates with minor variations.

Composite Beam Design

CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENTIn addition to all the features and facilities currentlyavailable in PowerPad, the program will continueto expand significantly as part of our dynamicdevelopment plan. Upgrades will be provided freeof charge as part of our software maintenanceagreement.

OUR AIMOur aim is to provide engineers with the mostcomprehensive, powerful and indispensable tools fortheir day-to-day engineering needs.
