A structural steel reference and AutoCAD drafting tool for steel construction. View dimensions and properties. Search for shapes by property values. Convert shape lists between US and metric. Calculate area and weight. Print Shape Data. With 2D3DSteel you can draw accurate shapes in AutoCAD 2000 through 2005. Based on AISC Manual of Steel Construction LRFD Third Edition. Shapes are available in US Imperial and Metric units.

Calculation of the optimum cross-section of slender struts strained for buckling and calculation of the appropriate strength check according to Johnson, Tetmajer, Euler and Secant method. Simple definition of the strut type - 40 types of predefined cross sections.
Used standards: DIN 1025, 1026, 1028, 1029, 1024, AISC W, S, C, L, LU
