Daystar FootingMaster for Punch!

  • Cantilevered and restrained concrete foundation design
  • UBC and IBC building codes
  • Graphical input and output

 

Every building project requires either foundation walls and footings or cantilevered retaining walls. The ability to quickly and easily design them is a must given the time constraints and shrinking budgets in today's building market.

 

Daystar FootingMaster for Punch! is a concrete foundation design PowerTool for Punch! Software's Architectural Series and Professional Home Design Platinum line of software.

 

Daystar FootingMaster for Punch! will find all of your foundation or retaining walls in your Punch! drawing, create wall sections and then analyze and design them. You can add your own wall sections and easily change the wall dimensions, physical properties and loads by selecting one or more of the wall sections and entering the new information.

 

Calculations include soil bearing values, overturning and sliding safety factors, shear stresses, moments, and required flexure, temperature and shrinkage reinforcing for both wall and footing. All equations are shown in the report so a plan reviewer will know exactly what the program did. You can export the Plan view and wall section elevations as a DXF and the design report can be printed or copied to a word processor.

 

Daystar FootingMaster for Punch! is sold exclusively on the Punch! Software web site. You can obtain pricing, purchase and download it immediately. If you wish to try a working demo, go to our demo download page for a free demo.
