Primary Users

Radimpex software is designed for structural engineers, civil engineers, and design professionals who need to analyze and design buildings and structures across a wide range of materials and configurations. It serves professionals who:

Analyze and design complex structures using finite element method (FEM) and finite strip method (FSM)
Model buildings, bridges, towers, and industrial structures with 3D visualization and BIM integration
Design reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, steel, and timber structures according to European and international codes
Perform seismic analysis including modal analysis, response spectrum, and pushover analysis
Generate detailed technical documentation including drawings, reinforcement schedules, and calculation reports
