Software Description

Structural engineering programs have rapidly evolved over the last century. However, programs from the last century cannot keep up with current computer technologies and data demand. Due to the lack of interconnectivity, software upgrades from old assemblies are extremely difficult to accomplish. Thus, some of the legacy computer programs are totally abandoned, and software vendors are willing to provide new programs in lieu of further upgrades. Microstruct^TM was developed with C# and SQL server local databases with Direct3D rendering to eliminate drawbacks suffered by earlier structural software’s. Microstruct’s data structure is 100% transparent, which means user have more control of data up to the Application Program Interface (API) level. The intuitive program library makes the Microstruct highly customizable and internal functions reader friendly.
