The tool, Strut3D, was implemented in the 2013.e version. This tool allows users (in CYPECAD and Metal 3D – using the Pile caps module – and in Foundation elements) to check pile caps using a general analysis methodology whereby the D regions of the reinforced concrete are analysed using a strut and tie method. This tool was only available for use with the Spanish EHE-08 concrete code.
In the 2014.b version, more codes could be used with Strut3D: ACI 318M-08 (USA), Nch430.Of2008 (Chile), NTE E.060:2009 (Peru) and NSR-10 (Columbia).
With the 2014.d version, Stut3D has been implemented to be used with more concrete codes:
- ABNT NBR 6118 2007 (Brazil)
Projeto de estruturas de concreto – Procedimento
- ABNT NBR 6118 Projeto Junho
Projeto de estructuras de concreto – Procedimento (project code that will substitute the code that is currently in force; ABNT NBR 6118 2007)
- Eurocode 2 (EU)
