    akses ? RCBD is a reinforced concrete building design software developed especially for Indian structural engineers. It is a finite element based analysis software which is developed specifically for design of reinforced concrete buildings. The software is developed by practicing structural engineers with emphasis on traditional Indian practice of site drawings. Once the design is completed, the site drawings are generated in .dxf format which can be read in various CAD softwares such as AutoCAD. In order to minimize data entry time geometric coordinates can be directly imported from architectural working drawings.
  • AGT – makers of several surveying and civil engineering programs as we as training videos for AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
  • CIVILFEM: General purpose finite element software for civil, structural and geotechnical engineering.
    Both, CivilFEM powered by Marc® and CivilFEM for ANSYS® are software developed by Ingeciber based on existing solvers. Two of the best FEM software in the world, Marc from MSC® and Ansys®, were chosen for this purpose. In this way, both CivilFEM were built to add the necessary pre- and post-processing capabilities to these two powerful solvers in order to work in the area of civil engineering in an agile and efficient way.
