Building design

Arkkitehti-JCAD

Arkkitehti-JCAD is in a league of its own when you want to focus on the most essential in designing a building.

You can use the software to manage the entire designing process – most importantly, the software is really easy to use and only requires a couple of days' training before production use.

Fully Finnish Arkkitehti-JCAD has been developed in cooperation with 500 customers. To top it off, the software is also reasonably priced.

A database ensures that work already done can be utilised in different places. For example, it is possible to automatically generate profiles and exterior face drawings from a layout at any designing stage. Generating perspective drawings is also easy.

  • An effective tool for professional architectural design
  • Easy to use
  • Made by Finnish software designers for Finnish users
  • Reliable and dependable
  • Standard-based, includes the necessary character sets
  • Versatile: you only need this software to manage the designing process of an entire building
  • Applicable for design of large public buildings and detached houses

Arkkitehti-JCAD can be customised to your needs. You can flexibly create your own structures and symbols.

Pilarit ja Palkit

Accuracy in the design of column and beam elements!

Pilarit- ja Palkit element software takes care of the structural engineering dimensioning of elements. You can select reinforcements based on suggestions given by the software.

In addition to regular dimensioning of a beam element, you can perform crack, torsion, and bending reviews.

All the Rakenne-JCAD software suite element applications are based on BEC and Frame-BES recommendations but they also allow you to use your own solutions.

Rakenne-JCAD

Efficiency in structural engineering at a reasonable price.

Rakenne-JCAD is the most advanced designing system of the sector. In addition to a database-based general structural engineering software, the software suite includes additional applications for design of concrete wall elements, design of wooden elements, and dimensioning of columns and beams.

If you use the ScaleCAD software developed based on the requirements of the concrete industry to supplement the software suite, you will have all the necessary tools you need in designing.

The extensive database ensures that design and structural element data is available during the entire design project. The database enables automatic generation of the necessary final drawings for production based on structural elements designed utilising the cross-section.

The database also enables automatic generation of a variety of lists, diagrams, and tables, such as foundation bases, beams, columns, slabs, grids, reinforcements, and mesh reinforcements.

The database enables easy and fast generation of new kinds of structures based on previously stored data.

Rakenne-JCAD also includes an easy-to-use dimensioning feature.

Puu-JCAD

Effective software especially for the detached-house industry.

Puu-JCAD was created in response to the growing need of element design for smaller houses. The software is already used by several factories manufacturing ready-made house packages.

Puu-JCAD can be used in wooden element construction and pre-cut construction.

The software is highly automated, which means that you do not have to draw even a single line if you don‘t want to.

Because it is so easy to use, the software can be quickly implemented into production use.

Frame diagrams can be generated either by pointing out parts of an architect’s drawing or by entering the wall dimensions. Wall-specific or project-specific material data can be obtained for further handling also in the Excel format.

In addition to a section for wooden walls, the software includes dimensioning features for wooden beams as well as generation of roof truss and beam diagrams. You can also add your own details in the system.

Seinäelementti-JCAD

Reinforcing at the press of a button!

Seinäelementti-JCAD is the market’s most effective software for designing reinforced concrete elements.

Based on the entered data, the software generates a database which can be used to print element images and the necessary lists.

The software takes care of all the design routines in the way you want. The initial data is entered into popup windows; even edge details are designed in real time using popup windows.

The final result is a complete element design. Tables and lists (such as reinforcing tables and lists) are also fully automatically generated.

Seinäelementti-JCAD is fully compatible with ScaleCAD.
