StructurePoint spMats 8.12

Description

SpMats is a powerful software for designing and analyzing the foundations of buildings and residential and industrial buildings. Engineers use the capabilities of this program to improve the design of complex foundations, strengthen them and the interaction of soil and structure. This software used to be known as pcaMats and MATS, and in recent years it has changed to its new name, spMats. Using this product, it is possible to analyze and design various types of concrete foundations, composites or reinforced concrete slabs. Concrete slabs in this program are modeled using a combination of assembled elements, which makes it easier to design this type of foundation.

Using spMats, it is also possible to design based on the limit method. This method is included in a number of European regulations and its purpose is to complete the final resistance of the structure against limit pressures. Using this software, different limit conditions can be predicted and the design can be done based on it. This program automatically and according to ACI 318-14 / 11/08/05/02 and CSA A23.3-14 / 04/94 building regulations, the amount and number of metal beams and columns required to strengthen the desired foundation. Calculates. It is also possible to perform shear punch calculations around columns and piles. This program models the behavior of slabs and mats using shear deformation theory as well as finite element method or FEM method and therefore has high accuracy in modeling.

System requirements

Any computer running MS Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7/8/10 is sufficient to run spMats. Memory of 8GB or higher is crucial for larger models. Initial installation and licensing requires Administrator privileges. Running models stored on network servers may delay output results retrieval depending on network speed.
