IES Structural Analysis Software

IES, Inc. offers a suite of innovative structural analysis and design software solutions aimed at engineering professionals. Established in 1994, IES focuses on simplifying complex structural engineering tasks through user-friendly interfaces and powerful capabilities.

Core Software Offerings:
1. VisualAnalysis (VA): This software is designed for structural analysis and design, providing users with the ability to create frame, truss, or finite element analysis (FEA) models. VA supports both 2D and 3D visual modeling, automatic load application, and comprehensive analysis including static, dynamic, and nonlinear evaluations. Its interface is similar to MS Office, enhancing usability for users. Additional features include various licensing options, free training videos, and robust customer support.

2. ConcreteBending: This tool specializes in analyzing bending problems in concrete structures, such as beams, slabs, and walls. It employs high-level components to automatically generate accurate Finite Element Models, which streamline the design process. ConcreteBending supports complex geometries, customizable loading scenarios, and complies with building codes such as ACI and CSA standards. Important features include automated finite element meshing, detailed reporting, and customizable load combinations.

Support and Licensing: IES provides flexible licensing options to accommodate different user needs, including annual subscriptions and perpetual licenses. Users can download free trials for both VA and ConcreteBending to evaluate their functionalities. Comprehensive user guides and training resources are available to assist new users in maximizing their software experience. For any inquiries or support, IES maintains dedicated customer support channels.
