The most comprehensive steel building design tool available!
Modelling
* Simple 2d or 3d input of floors and frames for rapid model generation.
* Create any arrangement of grid lines to help you input the structure
quickly and simply.
* Import DXF drawing to automatically create grid lines.
* Import architects' plans in DXF. The architectural drawing can be
'traced over' to generate the Fastrak model.
* Create and work with beams, columns and slabs, handled as design
objects not analytical elements.
* Import models from 3D+ or other 3d based systems, automatically
creating a Fastrak design model.
* No practical limit to the geometry of the model.
* Inclined beams, floors, complex roof structures, trusses etc - all
are modelled in Fastrak.
* Floors can be tied by bracing or diaphragm action.
* Frames can be rigid or braced with X, A, >, /, K etc.
* Members can be any material including concrete and timber.
Design
* Simple, composite with decking, composite with PC planks, continuous
and back-span beams.
* Rolled sections, plated beams, Fabsec, Westok, Porthole, ASB's and
Slimflor beams.
* Web openings with or without stiffeners.
* Simple, concrete filled or rigid (moment) columns.
* Frame stability from bracing and/or rigid frame design and/or concrete
shear walls.

Automatic Loading Facilities
* Distribution of all loads including lines, concentrated, and partial area,
to the supporting structure.
* Directional wind load distribution.
* Calculations of notional horizontal forces for the entire structure as
per BS 5950-1:2000 for sway and lack of fit.
* Reduction of imposed loads per BS 6399.
Automatic Building Design
* Detailed assessment of Lambda cr for the entire structure by inspection of
every floor-to-floor drift of every column under the relevant notional
horizontal load case.
* Comprehensive implementation of the assessment of floor vibration to SCI P076.

Continuous Beam Results
* Detailed design output or design summaries for submission to checking
authorities, in Microsoft Word. format if required.
* Beam end reactions and base reactions in Microsoft Excel. format or on
drawings.
* Detailed design drawings of plans and elevations, including beam end
reactions, floor slab reinforcement requirements, span direction,
etc - automatically layered on AutoCAD. drawings.
* Full take off lists including steel and concrete material and floor
areas, in Microsoft Excel. if required.
* Creation of 3d model for integration into 3D+., S-Frame., Orion and
a wide range of other modelling systems.
