3.  AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD)
and drafting software application by AUTODESK.
 AutoCAD was first released in December 1982.
 It is used to draw a plan, section & elevation of any objects.
 AUTOCAD 2021 version is the 24th version of AUTOCAD software
finally released on 25th March, 2020.

5. STAAD or (STAAD Pro) is a structural analysis and design
software application originally developed by Research Engineers
International in 1997 and licensed by Bentley Systems at 2005.
It supports over 90 international steel, concrete, timber &
aluminium design codes.
It can make use of various forms of analysis from the traditional
static analysis to more recent analysis methods like p-delta analysis,
geometric non-linear analysis, Pushover analysis (Static-Non Linear
Analysis) or a buckling analysis.

6. It can also make use of various forms of dynamic analysis methods
from time history analysis to response spectrum analysis. The
response spectrum analysis feature is supported for both user
defined spectra as well as a number of international code specified
spectra.
After licensed by Bentley System, First revision of software is done
on 29th June 2007.
STAAD Pro Connect Version 22, Update 6 release on 4th April, 2021.
STAAD PRO – Structural Analysis & Designing Programme

8.  ETABS is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural
analysis and design of buildings.
 ETABS has been developed specifically for multi-story commercial
and residential building structures, such as office towers,
apartments and hospitals.
 ETABS, was used to create the mathematical model of the Burj
Kalifa.
 It’s first version released on 04th Dec 2007 and currently we are
using version 19 released on 23rd Dec 2020.

10.  SAP2000 is general-purpose civil-engineering software ideal for the
analysis and design of any type of structural system.
 Basic and advanced systems, ranging from 2D to 3D, of simple
geometry to complex, may be modeled, analyzed, designed, and
optimized using a practical and intuitive object-based modeling
environment that simplifies and streamlines the engineering process.
 SAP2000 is intended for use on civil structures such as dams,
communication towers, stadiums, industrial plants and buildings.
 It’s first version released in the year 1996 and currently we are using
version 23 released on 19th May 2021.

12.  Tekla Structures, the most advanced structural BIM software, lets
you create, combine, manage and share multi-material 3D models
packed with valuable construction information.
 You can use Tekla Structures throughout the project, from
buildings and infrastructure conceptual planning to fabrication,
construction and maintenance, for design, detailing and information
management.
 It released on 10th February, 2012 and we are currently using the
version Tekla 2021 released on 17th March, 2021.

14.  ANSYS is a finite element analysis software used to simulate
engineering problems.
 The software creates simulated computer models of structures,
electronics, or machine components to simulate strength, toughness,
elasticity, temperature distribution, electromagnetism, fluid flow,
and other attributes
 It released in the year 1999 and currently we are using ANSYS 2021
version is released on 20th july 2021.
