Column Design

Column schedules with rigorous shear & torsion, an in-built AI agent, and an instant section viewer — straight from your ETABS model.

The concept

The same hub workflow, applied to columns — with a dedicated design step for what ETABS cannot do.

01

Rigorous shear & torsion

A dedicated design step covers column torsion — which ETABS cannot design — with the same solve-for-θ interaction approach as Beam Design.

02

In-built AI agent

Ask the model anything — it knows every column in your project.

03

Section viewer

Instant section diagrams at every position, so errors surface before issue.

User Interface

The main window — same layout logic as Beam Design.

Quick start

Three steps, same for every tool in the family.

  1. Get your licence

    Help → License → Request Access. Outlook opens a ready-made email — add your name and team, then send. After approval, enter that same email, press Activate License (once per machine), then Log In. One licence covers the family.

  2. Prepare the ETABS model

    Run both the analysis and the concrete design in ETABS before you start. If the tool doesn't detect ETABS, use Tools → Set as active instance for API in ETABS.

  3. Follow the numbered buttons

    The main window is designed to be followed top to bottom — buttons unlock in order. Watch the Main workflow video above for a full run.
