structural steel software used to automate the connection design work in steel structures as per the Indian code and other international codes.
Indian codes :
IS-800 – 2007 and other related codes.
BRITISH codes :
BS – 5950
EURO CODES :
BS EN 1993-1-8:2005 : Euro code 3. Design of steel structures. Design of joints and other related codes
AMERICAN CODES :
ANSI-AISC-360-10(Specification for structural buildings)
What is structural steel software ?
It is a software for design of connections in the structural steel works. With the involvement of the engineer, the software helps in getting an economical and practical design. This software covers all industry requirements.
It is based on codes. Various provisions of codes are available for reference as the context sensitive help and reference clauses are mentioned in the reports . The project specifications can also be used to control the design requirements.
This software does the automation of all the manual work involved in the design process. The results from repeat trials by varying the parameters can be compared. Tailor made solutions can be supplied for a specific project.
It is user-friendly and the non-fulfilment of the code requirements or mismatches are immediately reflected in RED and the area which needs revision of input is highlighted.
The change and Revisions are a part of the life of every project. In Steel Construction, this being not an exception, amounts to revisions in connection details. The design of connections between various elements of a structure is Complex at times. DSTEEL is developed with the aim of providing an easy and a generalized method of designing connections as per the standard codes and specifications.
While designing a particular connection, a 3-dimensional view is created which can be rotated and the actual scenario can be visualized. The input is provided under various categories, which immediately reflects in the 3D and the corresponding 2D views to reflect the changes.
A good knowledge of structural design helps to use the software effectively. However, a less familiar user can also use and understand from the various messages and warnings displayed by the software.
The software is completely parametric. This helps to accommodate the revisions and see the results instantaneously.

The Salient features are as follows :
The Salient features are as follows :
- The analysis and design of the structure is supposed to be ready and frozen
- The connections may be designed as per the requirement of the project :
- For the capacity of the member,
- For the given loads as per the analysis,
- For a certain percentage of the capacity of the member
- Connections are designed as per Indian and International codes.
- All required codal requirements are checked and are reported.
- It includes an extensive library of various types of connections under each category like shear connections, moment connections, splices, bracing connections, base plates, welding for fabricated sections etc. and also all bolted, all welded and combination of bolted and welded; giving user a large choice for selection.
- Any specific requirements can be added as per requirements of the project.
