Shell Element Designer
Reinforced Concrete Shell Elements Walls and Slabs
Overview
What is Shell Element Designer?
Shell Element Designer is a powerful automated design software that can design tens of thousands of shell elements for hundreds of cases in a matter of minutes. It takes your completed analysis results and uses them to perform code compliant design of reinforced concrete shell elements. The output consists of graphical visualisations, the raw results data and an option for validation calculations for an element and case of your choice.
Design Modules
The Shell Element Designer has multiple design modules to cover the full design of your reinforced concrete shell elements.
flexural reinforcement
Design of flexural in-plane longitudinal reinforcement. Calculates required reinforcement and utilisation ratios.
