Bentley Acquires REI China Structural Software
Products include STAAD/CHINA and Steel Structure Design and Drawings
 GUIYANG,
China (Greater China BE Meeting and Bentley Partner Conference 2007), Sep 5,
2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced at this gathering of
prominent organizations in China’s infrastructure community that it has
acquired REI China’s structural steel analysis, design, and drawing software
solutions.
The solutions include STAAD/CHINA (based on STAAD.Pro) and Steel
Structure Design and Drawings (SSDD), both of which have been certified by
the Steel Structure Committee of China Construction Metal Structure
Association and are widely deployed across China. Among the more than 2000
users of STAAD/CHINA are China Architecture Design & Research Group, China
National Petroleum Corporation, all provincial power design institutes,
Shanghai Boiler Plant Co., and XuZhou FeiHong Space Frame Group Co., Ltd.
Commenting on the acquisition, Dr. Jean-Baptiste Monnier, senior vice
president, Bentley Asia-Pacific Operating Unit, said, “Through this
acquisition, Bentley will further extend its STAAD.Pro and RAM product lines
of structural analysis and design software to incorporate local Chinese
standards and workflows. This will enable us to better serve the individual
requirements of the many design institutes, international engineering,
procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors, and owner-operators in
China that rely upon our software to increase their productivity and improve
project quality.
“The acquisition represents yet another step in Bentley’s strategic plan
to fully integrate the functions of design and analysis and provide
localized versions of these solutions around the globe.”
STAAD/CHINA for steel structural analysis and design is based on
Bentley’s STAAD.Pro line of leading structural engineering analysis and
design software. STAAD.Pro facilitates the design of steel, concrete,
timber, and aluminum structures for buildings, plants, tunnels, bridges, and
more. It offers a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, and
advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities for multi-material
design.
STAAD/CHINA incorporates the latest complex steel structure design codes
and building regulations in China and is used by construction design
institutes, petroleum companies, chemical companies, metallurgy design
institutes, power design institutes, boiler plants, curtain wall companies,
and steel structure companies.
Projects designed with its help include:
- The 330-meter-high Dalian International Trade Center
- An 80-meter-high, 500 kilovolt/220 kilovolt high-voltage
transmission steel tower
- Guangdong Olympic Stadium in Guangzhou
- Waiting Hall and Departure Facility at New Guangzhou Baiyun
International Airport
- Hunan International Exhibition Center
- Beihai Airport
- Jinan International Airport
- Nanning International Exhibition Center
SSDD complies with all applicable Chinese building codes and regulations,
is suitable for the analysis and design of light-weight steel structures,
and can generate CAD construction drawings. The software is used in steel
structure plants and by industrial and civil architecture design institutes.
