Basic Workflow
Advance Design, structural analysis software designed for the civil engineering field, offers a complete and fully integrated environment from the structure modeling to the result post-processing and structure optimization.
It provides a complete range of functions specialized in advanced CAD modeling, meshing, calculation, verification and optimization of reinforced concrete, steel and timber structures, result post-processing and generating high-quality reports.
The study of a project in Advance Design environment is designed in four operating modes: Model, Analysis, Design, and Document.

Basic Workflow in Advance Design
This is where your project takes shape. Generate structure elements like beams, slabs, foundations and walls, apply various types of loads (point, linear, planar loads), and organize your model elements in systems and subsystems. Here, you also set up the necessary analysis assumptions.
After your model is set, this mode allows you to perform the model meshing, launch calculation and post-processing the results.
Post-analysis, this mode provides access to a suite of advanced tools from the Advance Design modules for further refinement of your project. Note: This mode is only available after the FEM analysis is completed.
The final phase focuses on documentation. Generate and view calculation reports, memorize and organize model views and post-processing views, solidifying the outcomes of your design process.
This chapter describes the main functions and interface of Advance Design, and, through a few small examples, the program's working process.
