## About ATIR STRAP
ATIR Engineering Software Development Ltd was founded in 1983 with the aim of developing structural analysis and design software that would be both sophisticated and comprehensive but at the same time easy to use for the professional engineer. During the last three decades ATIR&#39;s staff of software and structural engineers, with the help of academic experts, have created versatile and powerful structural engineering programs for the construction industry. STRAP, our flagship program, covers the entire design process from analysis to the production of drawings and schedules. The program includes: • Design modules for calculating structural steel and cold-formed steel, reinforced concrete and post-tensioned elements subjected to static, dynamic, wind and seismic loads. • A bridge load and analysis module. • AutoSTRAP, a BIM (Building Information Modeling) module to create a structural model from architectural drawings. STRAP offers the engineer a comprehensive, authoritative and affordable tool for use in six different languages and is fully compliant with many international building codes.




## ATIR STRAP Reviews
  ### 1. Fast and reliable structural analysis  FEM software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Octavian P. | General Manager/Owner, Architecture & Planning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you like best about ATIR STRAP?**

The precise way of data input with excelent snap. The nice workflow, starting with modeling, going through loads applying and satatic/dynamic analysis, and great output in concrete and steel drawings.  You can do your estimation in 30 minutes for almost any building. The concrete design is so well detailed that it can almost go direct on site.  I experienced situations when I really took out plans from the concrete design module and handled them to the workers on site. 
You can also have great results in steel design.  The program does excelent optimisation of quantities and shows results in an easy to understand maner.

**What do you dislike about ATIR STRAP?**

The model rendering is very tehnical. There is not yet implemented a way to generate full engineering report, from geometry to final results with bilateral comunication with the model, so if you change a part of the model, you have to re-build the report.

**Recommendations to others considering ATIR STRAP:**

Use it if you need reliable very fast results in concrete or steel structures, from initial pre-dimensioning and evaluation to final execution details. Very good both for small buildings and large buildings.

**What problems is ATIR STRAP solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All kinds of structural design in concrete and steel, for residential, industrial and educational constructions.
Very fast in design and accurate for material estimation and dimensioning.  Instant detailed concrete beams, columns, slabs. 

  ### 2. STRAP - The most easy to use Structural Engineering Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about ATIR STRAP?**

Very easy to use geometry modelling options.
Powerful tools for creation of shear walls.
Very simple to apply loads on the structure.
Design features are excellent. Large amount of time saving when it comes to designing.
Options to analyse & deign composite columns and beams.
Possibility to create detailed construction details and drawings for RC  beams, columns and slabs. 
Powerful cold formed steel design module
Automatic bridge analysis capabilities.
Possibility to develop complete geometry and loading based on DXF drawings.



**What do you dislike about ATIR STRAP?**

Nothing much. After sales service is really good. Even if there a bug in the program, developer corrects it immediately, without waiting for the next version to come. Most of the Atir's dealers are well qualified and experienced Engineers. STRAP is the best quality product with guaranteed very good after sales service. 

**Recommendations to others considering ATIR STRAP:**

Please  evaluate yourself. There is 30 days trials version available with option to explore all the features. Plenty of videos and examples to assist in evaluation. 

**What problems is ATIR STRAP solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Design of steel structures
Design of cold formed & Pre-fabricated buildings
Design & Detailing of  RC structures
