## Which product does what

Analyse and design the members, verify the connections, then detail and hand fabrication its drawings and NC files.

### Analyse and design

- **STRAP** — 3D analysis and member design — hot-rolled, cold-formed and composite steel to AISC, Eurocode and IS codes.

- **mkaPEB** — PEB portal frame design and optimization — loads, members and connections in one run.  
  https://www.ramcadds.com/products/mkapeb

### Verify connections

- **IDEA StatiCa Steel** — Bolted, welded and moment connections code-checked with CBFEM — AISC 360, Eurocode 3 and IS 800.
