Structural WorkSuite

Bentley Structural Works Suite is a collection of software programs designed for the analysis, design, and detailing of structures. The suite includes several different programs that can be used together or individually to suit the specific needs of a project.

The main program in the suite is Bentley Structural, which is a 3D structural analysis and design program. This program can be used to create and analyze models of buildings, bridges, and other structures. It supports a wide range of analysis methods, including linear and nonlinear static, dynamic, and time-history analysis. It also includes a wide range of design codes for different regions and countries, making it suitable for use on projects all over the world.
