SAND *** Structural ANalysis and Design ***

SAND is an integrated system for the analysis, design and detailing of steelwork, concrete, masonry and timber structures.

Everything shown on this website is included in the SCALE system.
SAND includes everything on this website with the addition of non-linear analysis.

The four main programs of SAND are:

  • NL-STRESS (Non Linear STRESS), which is used for structural analysis.
  • SCALE (Structural CALculations Ensemble), which is used to produce structural design calculations complying with current British Standards.
  • LUCID which is used to produce reinforced concrete details
  • SPADE which is used to produce steelwork, masonry and timber details.

SAND also includes:

  • numerous pre and post-processors for NL-STRESS including vehicle loads, guyed masts and wave forces
  • TAPE a drawing utility for producing new drawings or editing NL-STRESS, LUCID or SPADE drawings or converting them to DXF format
  • a simple storage and retrieval system.
