Why XSection

Built by engineers for engineers.

No learning curve

A clean visual workflow that feels familiar from the first section.

Faster than traditional tools

Build, check, revise and report without slow desktop software or manual formatting.

Advanced when you need it

Interaction diagrams, biaxial bending, strain profiles and force resultants are available without cluttering the workflow.

Built for real projects

Project folders, revisions, load cases, report exports and team libraries are included from the start.

Built for engineers

Built for fast, practical section design.

XSECTION gives engineers a clean workspace for modelling concrete sections, checking capacity, reviewing interaction diagrams and producing calculation reports without jumping between spreadsheets, PDFs and desktop tools.

Fast section setup

Create circular, rectangular, wall, pile, pier and custom sections in seconds.

Live design feedback

See utilisation, capacity and warnings as your design develops.

Cloud autosave

Every section, load case and report is saved automatically to your workspace.

Clear calculation outputs

Review inputs, assumptions, diagrams and governing results in one place.

One-click reports

Export clean calculation reports ready for internal review or client submission.

Reusable libraries

Save materials, bar sizes, covers, templates and common section layouts for future use.

Team design templates

Standardise common checks and defaults across your engineering team.

Multi-code workflow

Design using AS 3600, AS 5100, Eurocode 2 and ACI 318 from the same section.

How it works

From section to calculation report in minutes.

01
Create section

Rectangle, circle, wall, T, L, bridge pier, pile or custom polygon.

02
Add reinforcement

Place bars, layers, circular arrays and standard bar libraries.

03
Select design code

AS 3600, AS 5100, Eurocode 2 or ACI 318.

04
Check capacity

Axial, uniaxial and biaxial bending with interaction diagrams and utilisation.

05
Export report

Review-ready PDF with inputs, assumptions, diagrams and results.

Features

Everything needed for reinforced concrete section design.

Transparent outputs, clear assumptions, versioned reports and review-ready calculations.

Supported Design Codes

AS 3600, AS 5100, Eurocode 2 and ACI 318 from a single section model with consistent inputs and transparent code-specific assumptions.

Library & Arbitrary Section Geometry

Rectangular, circular, wall, T, L, pier, pile and fully custom polygon sections with live canvas preview and dimension-driven editing.

Analysis Types

ULS section capacity, load case stress-strain analysis, column N-M and M-M interaction curves with demand envelopes and governing load cases.

Reinforcement Modelling

Place individual bars, draw rows, generate face reinforcement, and manage bar groups with diameter, material and spacing controls.

Reports & Results

Export branded PDF calculation reports with geometry diagrams, reinforcement layout, interaction curves, code references and versioned results.

Design codes

One workflow. Multiple concrete design standards.

Code assumptions, material factors and calculation methods are transparent and shown clearly for review.

AU
AS 3600

Building columns, walls, beams and slabs. Covers strength, ductility and detailing to the Australian Standard for concrete structures.

AU
AS 5100

Bridge piers, abutments, pile caps and columns. Appropriate load factors and capacity reduction factors for infrastructure.

EU
Eurocode 2

Reinforced concrete sections to EN 1992 with national annex support, partial factors and combination rules.

US
ACI 318

Structural concrete to the American Concrete Institute building code with strength reduction factors and interaction envelopes.

Validation

Transparent outputs. Verified results.

XSECTION is built for engineering review. Every result links back to geometry, material properties, reinforcement layout, applied actions and force equilibrium — with clear assumptions shown throughout.
