Diamonds - structural design analyis software
Diamonds is a structural design analysis software designed for engineers, offering a flexible product structure with various design packs. It provides a user-friendly environment for managing structural design models, ensuring high performance with minimal memory usage through PARDISO sparse solver technology.
Diamonds facilitates the creation of 2D and 3D structural models, supporting DXF file import/export for CAD integration. It allows assigning properties to model elements and supports complex configurations like orthotropic plates and rigid connections.
The software includes advanced calculation capabilities for foundation slabs, load cases, and combinations according to design standards. It generates wind, snow, dynamic, and seismic loads, with corresponding design spectra.
Diamonds supports the design of concrete, steel, and timber structures, providing tools for defining geometry, boundary conditions, and loads, with graphical result representation.
The software designs connections considering rigidity and haunches, allowing for iterative calculations to ensure valid equilibrium.
Diamonds enables the creation of structured reports, streamlining the documentation process for structural design analysis.
The software offers modules for 2D/3D bars, slabs, plates, dynamic and seismic analysis, and smart reporting, enhancing versatility for different design scenarios.
Diamonds performs static analysis with first and second-order calculations, accounting for global imperfections. Dynamic analysis considers damping and inertia forces, using modal analysis for vibration response.
For seismic-sensitive regions, Diamonds uses a multi-modal calculation scheme to ensure structures resist seismic actions, applying quasi-static correction if necessary.
Diamonds calculates reinforcement quantities for concrete members based on standards like Eurocode 2, checking ultimate and serviceability limit states.
The software allows for buckling parameter input and verification according to design codes, offering cross-section optimization and steel connection calculations.
Features include element selection, zoom/orbit/pan functions, multi-language support, and a built-in unit management system.
Diamonds supports graphical definition of model geometry, load management, and automatic generation of wind and snow loads.
The module evaluates design changes on connection resistance and stiffness, supporting limit state design of bolted and welded connections.
Discusses calculation of rotational stiffness and design resistance for shear connections, with color-coding for component sizing.
Analysis of tubular connections with axial force and bending moment resistance calculations according to EN 1993-1-8.
Introduces Smart Reporter for structured report design, with flexibility in report management and template reuse.
A case study of a modular construction system in Ghent, integrating architecture and structure while respecting historical context.
Describes a structural design office known for its collaborative approach with architects, emphasizing integration with architectural design.
BuildSoft is a Belgian company specializing in structural design analysis software, focusing on reinforced concrete, steel, and timber structures, with international operations.

Diamonds A n engine er’s be s t choic e Diamonds is an easy-to-use finite element software for the analysis and design of frames, beam grids, slabs, plates, rafts and complete 3D structures in steel, concrete and timber. Being a structural engineer, Diamonds will be your ideal tool to easily define model geometry, boundary conditions and loads, and finally analyse the in colors represented results. The graphic input does not only mean an enormous save of time, but you also lower the risk of making mistakes, thanks to the permanent visual control over the model. Your learning curve is short -...

Model geometry Diamonds offers you access to a wide range of tools which con- siderably speed up the drawing work for a 2D or 3D structure. You start by drawing the 2D model on a fixed or variable draw- ing grid, directly on the screen or by introducing node coor- dinates with your numeric keypad. You define the axes for a frame structure in a front view, the contour lines for a slab in a top view or for a wall in a side view. On selecting a series of lines in one plane, Diamonds will create all possible plates from which the contour is composes by lines out of this selection. You can always...
