Prota Software Joins GstarCAD User Conference 2025 in Bangkok

Prota Software made its mark in Bangkok at the GstarCAD User Conference 2025, showcasing ProtaStructure Suite 2026 and strengthening collaborations with Thailand’s design and engineering community. The event, organized by AppliCAD, proved to be a productive platform for innovation and exchange of ideas, highlighting the future of smarter, safer, and more efficient workflows.

Driving Innovation in Thailand

The conference gave Prota Software the chance to connect directly with industry professionals. We explored opportunities to collaborate on smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions that address today’s engineering challenges.

In addition, the official launch of GstarCAD 2026 was one of the main highlights of the day. This latest release delivered major upgrades to help engineers and designers streamline their CAD workflows.

Key new features included:

• Dimensional Constraints & Parameters Manager for parametric design control

• DWG Compare for quick drawing analysis

• Drawing Merge for combining project files

• Engineering Projection for greater technical accuracy

Together with enhancements like Batch Plot, Batch Purge, PDF Import, and Data Extraction, these updates showed how CAD innovation is moving the Thai industry forward. Consequently, professionals are better equipped to achieve precision, efficiency, and productivity in their projects.

Strengthening Collaboration with ProtaStructure Suite 2026

For Prota Software, attending this major industry gathering reinforced our commitment to supporting Thailand’s engineering community. Beyond building connections, we also introduced the latest innovations in ProtaStructure Suite 2026, our flagship structural engineering solution.

The 2026 release delivers a wide range of modeling, seismic design, and detailing enhancements, including:

• RC Stair Module – a powerful new tool to model, analyze, design, and detail reinforced concrete staircases automatically.

• Eurocode NDP Editor – providing flexibility to edit nationally determined parameters and adapt designs to local standards.

• New Structural Elements – support for cruciform columns, pedestals, sub-basement walls, and multi-level slabs within a single story.

• Seismic & Analysis Upgrades – expanded spectrum definitions, improved modal and vertical analysis, ASCE/SEI 41 and Eurocode 8 performance-based design checks.

• RC Design Improvements – crack width and punching shear checks, refined deflection calculations including creep and shrinkage, and rebar visualization enhancements.

• Interoperability & Detailing – IFC4 and Revit mapping support, faster drawing production, and improved reinforcement schedules.

These advancements are not just incremental updates — they represent practical solutions for engineers facing today’s complex design challenges. From smarter modeling to more robust seismic checks, ProtaStructure Suite 2026 empowers engineers to deliver safer, more efficient, and code-compliant projects.
