1.AutoCAD

The Full form of CAD is a computer-aided software drafting program. AutoCAD is used for
various applications like creating blueprints for buildings, bridges, and computer chips to
name a few.
AutoCAD is mainly used for 2D and 3D computer-aided drafting software applications. It is
one of the best civil engineering software.
Since 1982 it was a desktop application and commercial software. Since 2010, it is available
on mobile platforms, web, and cloud–based apps and is known as AutoCAD 360.

What is AutoCAD Used For?

AutoCAD has features to create a 2D drawing and 3D model or construction that can be
drawn by hand. The software has an option to group or layer objects, keeps objects in a
database for future use, and manipulates properties of objects, such as size, shape, and
location.

AutoCAD has different applications in a wide range of fields. The software can be used for
simple projects, such as graphs or presentations, or complex designs, like drawing up the
architecture of a building. Some other practical applications may include:

9
1.Interior designs
2.Aeronautical designs
3.Logos
4.Fine art
5.Maps
6.Greeting cards
7.Engineering designs
Designs

2.Revit
Revit is software for an architectural design and documentation software program. It is made
for architects and engineers for managing building design and detailing the model.
Revit is an Autodesk Building Information Modeling ( BIM ) software for structural
engineers and Companies that provides a rich toolset feature for helping a design process
and when you are working with the other construction application using Autodesk CAD,
Software like an Auto desk Revit MEP and Revit Architecture.
BIM Services is one type of process and not an application beneath the umbrella is Revit
software. BIM helps in making models which are used for planning, design, construction,
and management of building a design to make the construction projects faster, and
economical causing less harm to the environment.

BIM Model can make interior and exterior models which can be changed and stay updated
while any third–party personnel can work in it.
Revit creates elements of design that architects and designers can view in different views
such as 2D drawings, 3D models, and schedules. It has also a special feature that if the data
changes in one set of elements, it gets updated in all the other elements set views
automatically by Revit

10
3.ETABS

ETABS is a short form of “Extended 3D Analysis of Building System“. ETABS is designed

by Computers and Structures, Inc. which is globally recognized as the leader in structural
engineering analysis and design software for structural and earthquake engineering.
The ETABS is a fully integrated software package for the structural design and analysis of
buildings. It is a result of more than 40 years of research and development; it offers 3D
model design and visualization tools.
Its powerful design has various design materials, and a graphical design board, drawing that
allows users to quickly and easily interrelate and understand analysis and design results.

4.3D Architecture Home

The 3D Architect Home Designer enables you to draw in a more flexible environment than
ever before. With two distinct workspaces, you can quickly and accurately design floor
plans in our 2D construction mode and check the results instantly in the 3D model in design
mode.

11
5.STRAP ( Structural Analysis Program)

STRAP (STRuctural Analysis Programs) is a Windows based suite of finite element static
and dynamic analysis programs for buildings, bridges and other structures. Complete
analysis and design can be performed for any structure without ever referring to joint or
beam numbers.

6.Water GEMS

WaterCAD is a software extensively utilized for hydraulic and water quality modeling
applications for water distribution systems. All municipal corporations and designer firms
trust WaterCAD as a reliable, resource–saving, decision-support application for their water
infrastructure.

WaterCAD helps engineers and utilities analyze, design, and optimize water distribution
systems from fire flow and constituent concentration analysis, to energy cost management
and pump modelin

7.Tekla

Tekla Structures is a building information modeling software able to model structures that
incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber and glass.

8.Arc GIS

ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) application developed and maintained by

the American company Esri. ArcGIS consists of the following Windows desktop software:
… ArcCatalog, for GIS data management and manipulation tasks
.

9.STAADPro

STAAD Pro full form as Structural Analysis and Design. It is extensively used for the
design and analysis of buildings, towers, bridges, transportation, and industrial and utility
structures.

It allows the structural engineer to automate their work by removing the tedious and long
procedures of the manual methods. This software allows the structural engineer to analyze
and design virtually any type of structure.

12
Features of staad pro software:

1. Adaptable Modelling Environment:

The software allows users to create a 3D version of the structure. It has impressive features
with the advanced graphical environment and different languages, it helps the user to design
the right structure.

2. Broad Range of Design Codes

The software comes up with a large range of design codes making it a one-stop point for
building design. With the help of a wide range of design codes, the software determines the
drift, deflection, and depth
.
3. Contain Features of Structural Engineering

The software included all the tools which are essential for the design of the structure and
make the designing work easier. Various work can be done by using staad pro like
Foundation, Offshore, and RAM Concept, it helps in designing the structure effectively. It
also includes the feature for the design of bridges or pipes.

13
10.SAP 2000

SAP2000 has full form Structural Analysis Program 2000. SAP2000 is one of the best
design software and structural analysis software developed by Computer and Structures,
Incorporated (CSI), a structural and earthquake engineering company.
SAP2000 is the most useful software for civil engineering work; it is suitable for structural
analysis and design type of work. It has various design applications like 2D and 3D
structural models of simple geometry to complex, which may be modeled, analyzed,
designed, and optimized using a practical.
Its importance can be known from the fact that the civil engineers can begin with their
designs and then they can go for analysis and the software tells them how the structure will
behave under the applied conditions set by the operator.

Moreover, SAP 2000 has the feature of optimizing itself for structure and changing the
materials used for different parts of the structure from the list provided by the operator while
creating the model.

SAP2000 works with four basics units:

Force- Kip, Newton

Length- inches, mm
Temperature- Fahrenheit, celsius
Time- seconds
Weight is considered a force applied to anybody.

12.SkyCiv

SkyCiv is a cloud-based structural analysis software and design software that allows users to
model and solve complex 3D structures. It is completely online; requires no installation or
updating, and is compatible with both PC and Mac computers. Users can use SkyCiv
structural engineering software to model, analyze and design a wide range of structures.
One of the biggest differentiators of SkyCiv compared to traditional software is that SkyCiv
is extremely intuitive and easy to use. In a survey conducted by SkyCiv to its professional
users, 62% responded that the average time to learn SkyCiv was less than a week, compared
to 4-6 months for other traditional software.
Another advantage of SkyCiv is that it offers similar (or better) functionality, with better
value. They offer flexible monthly pricing to suit different projects and businesses. Why not
take a peek at what SkyCiv does:

Analysis Software
 SkyCiv Beam
 SkyCiv Structural 3D
 SkyCiv Mobile App
 SkyCiv Section Builder
