Export to dsAppManager older version file format Use the latest and greatest features of the current version but export design files to an older dsAppManager version file format for use by your coworkers or customers who have not yet migrated to the latest version
Know product license availability and checkout appropriate license type to suit your current project foundation design needs
Specify if the loads are being applied at the top of the pier or at the base of the footing providing complete flexibility to specify this option right before design
Specify both Natural Grade Elevation and Final Grade Elevation for use in design
Complete a single mat design in Mat3D Design Mode reducing your foundation design time
Complete a footing group design in Mat3D Design mode eliminating guesswork and time-intensive effort in determining foundation sizes that will work under a structure’s support columns
See Mat3D automatically create spread, combined and mat footings based on user-specified design criteria eliminating the need to guess different footing sizes
Easily determine if a single mat is a better option than individual footings under a structure’s support columns reducing overall design time
Create multiple load combination sets each with a specific “Use For” case such as Bearing, Stability, Sliding, Concrete Design and more helping adhere to many international concrete design codes
