WinAQUA: CAD-based input of cross-sections

WinAQUA is a CAD-like user interface for the generation and management of thin- or thickwalled cross-sections, bore profiles, materials and spring stress/strain-ratios. The program comes with a database for standard cross-sections (e.g. rolled steel, t-beams) and a DXF-import function. All section properties will be calculated automatically and presented in a standard report.

More features:

• Standard cross-section database
• DXF-import
• Weld zones
• Stress points
• Point/line reinforcement
• Non-effective widths
• Composite sections with stud connectors
• Variable sheet thickness
• ASCII-export to CADINP
• CAD-functions like copy, mirror, offset, rotate

CADINP: Parametric input of cross-sections

As for all SOFiSTiK programs, using CADINP is a flexible way to create the cross-section and keep it parametric throughout the design process. Of course text-generated cross-sections can be viewed and edited in WinAQUA.
