Altair S-CALC is an advanced section property calculator designed to enhance productivity and design accuracy for engineers dealing with non-standard sections featuring complex geometries and multiple materials. The software computes over sixteen section properties, offering various calculation methods such as database values, closed-form solutions, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods. Users can define models using S-CALC's intuitive graphical editor or import geometry and material data from BIM and DXF files. The tool supports the creation of multi-material sections, allowing calculations based on a chosen reference material, with default options including steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and iron. S-CALC also provides a comprehensive library of over 70 parametric shapes, including built-up, cold-formed, bridge, and more, enabling users to easily define and modify sections to meet specific design requirements. Features:

• Calculation of over sixteen section properties about the centroid or any reference axis.
• Multiple calculation methods: database values, closed-form solutions, proprietary polygon algorithms, and FEA methods.
• Graphical editor for easy model definition and support for BIM and DXF file imports.
• Creation of multi-material sections with customizable material properties.
• Extensive library of over 70 parametric shapes, including standard, hollow, cold-formed, reinforced concrete, bridge, rail, and user-defined polygons.
