Roof Truss: This module allows the user to select from a variety of common truss templates or edit a general case truss to design members, connections, fasteners, and lateral bracing components.Roof Framing: This module designs roof rafters and joists with ease, precision, and speed.Moment- Resisting Short Wall: This module designs interior partition walls, parapet walls, and strip window framing, while offering the inventive solution, MidWallTM, a tested alternative to partial wall assemblies.

X-braced Shear Wall: This module incorporates the innovative StiffWall® x-braced shear wall system into the project design as an alternative shear wall assembly.Load Bearing Wall: This module optimizes the design of a load bearing cold-formed steel low or mid-rise structure users can select from standard SSMA shapes, JamStud®, or the exceptional SigmaStud® sections.Curtainwall: This module designs components for a wide variety of common curtain wall conditions such as bypass, infill, spandrel, parapet, and openings.These modules allow the user to complete a design for each individual assembly of the wall, floor, and roof of a load-bearing or secondary framed cold-formed steel project. SteelSmart® System provides the user with seven basic design modules. SteelSmart® System’s Design Capabilities Basic SSS Modules: Yet, with each software build and release ASI consistently surpasses the industry’s expectations thus continuing to provide SSS users with the most comprehensive cold-formed steel design and analysis tool on the market to protect liability, solve design dilemmas, easily estimate construction materials, and effortlessly specify quality light steel framing members and connectors manufactured by The Steel Network. Every one of these changes presents new goals, and sometimes even challenges, for the Applied Science International (ASI) software design team. With each passing year codes and standards evolve, unique design challenges are presented, and new products are developed. For more information, visit over two decades SteelSmart® System has been the light steel framing industry’s leading analysis and design software for cold-formed steel. Simpson Strong-Tie supplies structural connectors and related products for construction.

#Cold formed steel design software free download upgrade
After this date, users will need to upgrade to CFS Designer software. Simpson Strong-Tie will continue to support LGBEAMER through March 2015.

This not only enables designers to work more efficiently, but it also gives us the ability to upgrade and enhance the program far into the future,” said Randy Daudet, Cold-Formed Steel Industry Manager at Simpson Strong-Tie. “We rebuilt the software program to make it more compatible with modern operating systems. The software allows the design of multiple engineering models within the same job file, and supports connection design for specific Simpson Strong-Tie® curtain wall and bridging connectors like the SUBH u-channel bridging connector and the SCB by-pass slide clip. The new version maintains the design tools that automate common CFS systems such as wall openings, shearwalls, floor joists and rafters, but with an upgraded user interface. Now, with the CFS Designer program, engineers will have the key benefits of LGBEAMER, as well as access to connection design and a more powerful software platform. This software gives designers the ability to design CFS beam-column members according to AISI specifications and to analyze complex beam loading and span conditions. Pleasanton, CA - Simpson Strong-Tie, manufacturer of engineered structural connectors, introduces a new software program for cold-formed steel (CFS) designers that automates product selection and complicated design provisions of AISI, and offers more robust design tools for users.ĬFS Designer™ software is the new version of LGBEAMER, a software program that for years has been one of the most widely used CFS member design tools in the industry.
