Section Builder is a comprehensive Windows based, graphical software package for creating and analyzing simple and complex structural cross-sections of steel, reinforced concrete or composite materials.

Section Builder includes numerous practical shapes that can be defined parametrically. Sections can be picked up directly from standard databases.

Arbitrary unsymmetrical sections can be drawn graphically using a wide variety of drawing and editing tools.

Complex Sections can be built up by combining previously defined sections with each other or with sections obtained directly from the standard databases.

Various options allow the user to obtain biaxial interaction curves and surfaces, moment-curvature relationships and stress distributions for a given set of section forces.

Section Builder comes with a set of examples and comprehensive documentation and on-line help to help you begin using it efficiently.
