• This software does not provide certified calculations; certified calculations can only be provided by a licensed structural engineer.
• While the calculation methods behind Braceworks are based on the Finite Element method, the software does not replace structural certification or stamping.  However, it will save you, your team, and your structural engineer tremendous amounts of time by generating the calculations directly from the model instead of by hand.  Detailed calculation reports can be created.  Models can be exported in DSTV format for collaboration with structural engineers using other FEA software.
