Features

Osdag performs design for two different scenarios;

• Obtain a weight-optimum design: Perform a design from a suite of available options in terms of steel sections and connectors. The optimized design is selected based on the total volume of material.

• Check a trial design for compliance: Perform a design check with a single set of trial inputs/selections in the 'Custom' option. In this case, Osdag will inform if the design checks are satisfied and suggest changes otherwise.

An interactive window displaying a 3D model of the designed component(s), which provides a clear visualisation and some basic information.

3D CAD models that can be imported to generic CAD softwares.

User-friendly input and output docs, with text-validated fields grouped according to the design flow.

A text window for message display, that also suggests necessary changes if a trial design is found unsafe.

Creation of a professional design report showing all necessary checks, design calculations as per IS 800:2007, and other relevant design standards.

Selection of “additional/detailed” design preferences, considering different construction and detailing aspects, using an additional inputs toolbox.

Video tutorials for multimedia learning on how to install and use Osdag.

Sample design problems for teaching-learning, training and testing purposes.
