## About Octave Aspect Structure (GT STRUDL)
With its 40 year history, Aspect Structure (formerly GT STRUDL) is one of the most trusted and adaptable structural analysis solutions in the world. The software has a proven track record in a variety of applications, such as nuclear and conventional power generation, onshore and offshore facilities, marine, civil engineering, and infrastructure. Aspect Structure offers engineers the accurate and complete engineering data they need for cost-effective and efficient structural engineering and design decision-making. Interoperable with Forte 3D(formerly Intergraph Smart) solutions, Aspect Pipe Stress (CAESAR II) and Forte StructureWorx (formerly CADWorx Structure) enables structural data-rich models created outside of Aspect Structure to fully leverage the power of Aspect Structure. It is also interoperable with third- party solutions such as SDS/2 for steel detailing and Mat3D for concrete foundation design. Reduce duplication of effort, save time and ensure data accuracy using Aspect Structure
