Product Description

• AStrutTie is a strut-tie model analysis/design software for concrete members with disturbed stress region(s).
  It enables users to automatically analyze/design the optimal strut-tie models using machine learning techniques.
  Also, the software supports templates for efficient structural modelings for strut-tie model analysis/design.
