Why GTS CADBUILD is the No.
1 source for tried and tested Eurocode Software with unbeatable
UK-based support |
 GTS
CADBUILD, together with its UK and overseas
software developers have been working
towards the harmonisation of European design standards for a
very long time. Design modules to the draft standards were first
incorporated in some of our software over 10 years ago. Since that
time, we have planned to have all major items of software fully
Eurocode compliant by the date of implementation which was 1st
April 2010. |
| |
| On 31st March, all competing British
Standards were withdrawn. Whilst they will certainly remain in
use for some time, the government is under direction from the EU to
ensure a speedy transition. Public sector bodies are likely to
require that design of new work is to the Eurocodes. Also, in order
to better address the European and Global markets, large private
sector bodies are already moving rapidly towards Eurocode
compliance. A final important point is one of liability. What are
the legal and insurance risks of using withdrawn, unmaintained,
standards? |

All
Eurocode-compliant GTS software is suitable for training use and can
be downloaded for training purposes completely free-of-charge. A
period of 30 days applies to all training/evaluation use unless
otherwise agreed. We recommend that a simple program (such as
quikEC3) is the best training vehicle but you can also download more
powerful software for frame design, portal frames, connections etc.
