Catalogue

Every family in the code. Indexed.

Sourced from the IS 808:2021 tables: designation, mass, area, every axis dimension, moments of inertia, radii of gyration, elastic and plastic moduli. Browse a category or search a designation directly.

The full IS catalogue.

Beams, channels, angles, tubes, bars, plates and reinforcement bar. Browse by category, or search MB 400, ISA 7575, ISMC 150 directly.

02 · INSPECT

Everything on one screen.

A dimensioned profile with the centre of gravity marked, dimensions and weight, unit cost, design capacity, and inertia, gyration and moduli. Compact mode keeps it all in view.

03 · SKETCH

Go full screen.

Just the sketch, full width, with every dimension labelled. Scan the catalogue fast with the drag nav strip.

04 · YOUR OWN SIZE

Flats and bars, any size.

Enter your own width and thickness, or diameter, and every property recalculates live from the geometry.

05 · OPTIMIZER

Lightest section that works.

Give a target moment of inertia and the axis. The Section Optimizer ranks the lightest IS sections that meet it, with efficiency per unit mass.

06 · COMPARE

Side by side.

Tag sections into the compare tray and read mass, cost, dimensions and properties next to each other.

07 · EXPORT

Take the numbers with you.

Export a whole category as CSV for Excel or STAAD, JSON for apps, or Markdown for reports. Or copy a single section's data.

Design calculator · quantity estimator

IS 800, built in.

Check a column or a beam against IS 800: capacity, deflection and interaction, pass or fail, with the numbers shown. Then turn a simple member list into total weight and total project cost.

Bolt Mode

Same depth, for fasteners.

Hex bolts, HSFG bolts, washers and nuts, property classes and threads, each dimensioned to its IS standard. Design capacity per IS 800, a side-by-side comparison and an optimizer of its own.

Fastener categories

Hex bolts & nuts

Side and plan views with every dimension, thread and head data.

HSFG & washers

High strength friction grip bolts, punched, machined and spring washers.

Bolt optimizer

Enter shear and tension, get the smallest bolt that carries it.

Compare

Two fasteners, every property, side by side.
