Tricalc is a complete and integrated software for the design of structures, from the structural model to the dimensioning, detailing and final fabrication of the structures. In each of the phases of the project, Tricalc presents functionalities that are very valuable for structural designers.Tricalc allows an integrated work process to be carried out, from the modeling of a structure, to the final construction and manufacturing plans of the structure.

With its workflow, greater security is guaranteed, since all the information is related and linked to a single model. In this structural model, all the elements are calculated in an integrated way, regardless of their material, using a 2nd order P-Delta analysis and six degrees of freedom per node, which avoids simplifications that can be risky for the degree of safety that needed in projects. In this sense, the integrated calculation of all the structural elements carried out by Tricalc allows us to analyze how its elements interact with each other, and obtain the most realistic behavior possible of the structure as a whole, increasing the degree of knowledge of the behavior of the entire structure. The current times require new capacities; To successfully face these challenges, it is necessary to equip professionals with new and powerful tools.

Efficiency and safety are essential for the success of projects. Tricalc's modeling and analysis capacity makes it the ideal solution to guarantee efficient modeling and safe analysis, allowing more time to be spent on project design and conception and less on work processes.

-Tricalc includes among its main characteristics, the ease of use, which allows, within a Windows environment in the most recent standard, to create new structures from DWG and DXF drawings and from three-dimensional BIM models. The possibility of working not only in horizontal planes, but also in vertical, inclined planes, or even in any configuration of planes, helps when modeling complex architectures, which are not always large, since in small details many Sometimes there is the complexity.

-Likewise, the use of automatic assistants will allow the generation of warehouse-type structures extremely quickly, among hundreds of parameterizable options, offices, homes, scaffolding, LSF typology, etc. even special elements such as 3D stairs, variable inertia bars. The innovative capabilities of analysis of results that Tricalc has, allows to know with a high degree of precision, the behavior of the structure, going through graphs of efforts and displacements by frames, by floors, graphs of isovalues, reinforcement appraisal, etc. . both in the 3D solid model and in the analytical wireframe model.
