- Advance Steel - Advance Steel was specifically developed for industry professionals that require a comprehensive and completely integrated package in AutoCAD. Advance Steel automates the entire structural CAD process (fabrication, erection drawings, various reports) and creates NC fabrication data in AutoCAD.
- DesconBrace - Descon Brace is a steel connection design software for Braced Frame type structures. It is a Windows based program with a graphical user interface for defining the input data and for reviewing the design drawing and calculation report. ASD and LRFD versions of Descon Brace are available. Both versions use the Uniform Force Method where it is applicable. Descon Brace designs Chevron, Knee, and K- Braces as well as braces connected to column base and Beam-Column joints where up to four braces and two beams may exist. Beams and braces may be added to or removed from the joint configuration by simple mouse operations. The section designations, material names, bolts, and welding electrodes are defined using pull-down menus and option buttons, and their data are automatically fetched from the program's database. Member forces are input by the user, and Descon Brace designs and/or checks the brace to gusset connection, gusset plates, gusset to beam and column connections, and the local stresses in the column and beams. Descon Brace creates and prints a scaled drawing showing the connection details. Callouts, dimension lines, and weld symbols can be moved to preferred locations in the drawing area with the mouse. Descon Brace creates a dxf file of the drawing for importing into CAD systems. Descon Brace generates a calculation report that includes the formulae in symbolic and numerical formats and the result of the computations. The design report can be reviewed on-line by opening the Report window. A GoTo command provides a fast jump to the calculations for specific items in the report.
- DesconWin - DesconWin is a software program for designing beam-to-column connections, beam and column splices, and beam to girder connections, of steel buildings. Simple shear connections, and partially or fully restrained moment connections are included in DesconWin. ASD and LRFD versions, both in the U.S. units and Metric units, are available separately. DesconWin is a Windows based program and requires MS Windows 95 or higher. Input data is entered using pull-down lists, option buttons, and text boxes. On-screen and printed output includes a detailed calculation report and a drawing of the connection. DesconWin creates a DXF file of the designed connection to interface with CAD systems. DesconWin has a database of steel sections including W, M, S, and HP shapes. Users can add customized or non-standard sections to this database. DesconWin requires a minimum amount of data in the Design mode and allows the user to enter all pertinent data in the Check mode.

- Soft Steel - Soft Steel is a three dimensional Structural Steel Detailing Software for any type of structural steel project. Embedded built-in AutoCAD commands and extensive use of ARX Technology results in a powerful yet intuitive way to operate with a sophistication of results. This detailing software automatically produces structural steel fabrication drawings quickly, accurately and efficiently. Soft Steel has been designed with simplicity of operation in mind so that the user requires no special skills to run the system.
- Steel for iPhone and iPod Touch - Steel for iPhone & iPod Touch is an application for Civil and Structural Engineers, Architects and Drafters. It Provides access to the American Institute of Steel Construction 13.0 and 13.0H steel shapes database. The application contains the steel shapes appearing in the following American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) libraries: (1) Current Version 13 (in English and metric units); (2) LRFD 1st to 3rd Ed. (including LRFD 2nd Ed. SI - International Units); (3) ASD 6th to 9th Ed.; and HISTORIC. Steel for iPhone allows sorting of the sections within a library given a specific property. It also lets you find a section with a quick search function, where, for example, "W16 x 89", "W16x89" or simply "W1689" will locate the same section or its closest approximation.
- SteelCAD - Automated steel detailing and fabrication software. Complies with AISC and CISC standards. Produces erection drawings and generates design calculations. Shop-ready drawings. Details most structural beams, columns, vertical and horizontal bracing, stairs, and ladders. Any member made from almost any structural shape.
