How it works

Three steps from model to results - no macro-enabled workbooks required.

1
Define your structure
Set up floors, grids, and load cases - or jump straight into a standalone tool for quick checks.
2
Run the analysis
Let SES handle tributary logic, load accumulation, member design, and time-dependent effects automatically.
3
Review and export
Inspect clear outputs, iterate on inputs, and take results back to your project documentation.
