RC Beam design module
Get faster workflows using Rib templates and design elements in Advance Design 2024.
Import geometry and internal forces from rib design – Your sections and design of internal forces can be more effective when importing beams with the rib option active.
New options for defining supports – You now have the ability to specify whether a support is single-sided. You can also define beam supports to correctly generate drawings.

RC Column design module
Get faster workflows using geometry, design elements, and reinforcement in Advance Design 2024.
Different upper beams geometry – You can individually specify the length and width of the top beams and use that data to automatically determine buckling lengths.
Improvements to editing transverse reinforcement – You can quickly and precisely define and edit the distribution of transverse bars in the table with new definition methods.

RC Footing design module
Get faster workflows using automation, analysis visualization and geotechnical options in Advance Design 2024.
Representation of the substitute footing in viewports – You can get a visual representation of the substitute footing with the analysis activated.
Auto correction of reinforcement when crack widths are too large – You can keep concrete cracking within limits by automatically increasing the reinforcement.
New method of determining soil pressure – You can consider active and passive earth pressures using a new algorithm, in accordance with annex C of EN 1997-1.

RC Wall design module
Get faster workflows using automation options in Advance Design 2024.

Generation of drawing with schedules for bars and fabrics – You can automatically and simultaneously generate schedules for bars and fabrics, including a new drawing style.

Masonry Wall design module
Get more streamlined workflows using data management and graphical display options in Advance Design 2024.

Loads representation in viewports – You can more easily view defined loads, as well as imported internal forces, by displaying them graphically.

RC Slab design module
Streamline your design workflows using customization, reinforcement options, and modelling improvements in Advance Design 2024.

New bar shapes – You can now generate U-shaped and two-bend bars on the edges of a slab.
New options for defining reinforcement solutions – Your options have increased to define reinforcement coverage with reinforcement areas.

Steel Connections design modules
Streamline your design workflows using new connection options in Advance Design 2024.
