The core of AFES 3.0 is its sophisticated analysis engine. It calculates: Ensuring the soil can support the load. Settlement Analysis: Predicting foundation settlement.
The full version of AFES 3.0 offers a comprehensive suite of tools that automate the tedious aspects of foundation engineering. 1. Advanced Foundation Modeling
The software compiles all calculation steps into an engineering report. Drawings can be exported directly to AutoCAD (DWG/DXF format) for construction-ready documentation. Core Engineering Capabilities Capability Supported Elements / Codes Pad, Pile, Ring wall, Combined, Octagonal Versatility for various plant structures. Design Standards American (ACI), British (BS), Indian (IS) Enables global project execution. Interoperability STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, AutoCAD Eliminates manual data transfer errors. Material Take-off Concrete volume, Rebar tonnage Speeds up project cost estimation. Industry Applications
By securing the , engineers can ensure they have the complete toolset necessary for accurate, safe, and efficient foundation design, streamlining their workflow from concept to construction drawings.
: The software manages shallow and deep configurations including isolated/spread footings, combined footings, strap foundations, multi-column mat/raft foundations, and complex pile cap layouts (square, rectangular, or octagonal configurations).
The built-in optimizer can reduce concrete volume by up to 18% by adjusting footing thickness and projection dimensions iteratively. This feature alone often pays for the software license within two projects.
