ProtaStructure 2026 Official Launch in Thailand – Discover What’s New

ProtaStructure 2026 Official Launch in Thailand: “Smarter, Faster, More Integrated” for the Next Generation of Structural Design

The ProtaStructure 2026 Official Launch Seminar in Thailand, organized by our valued partner AppliCAD, brought together engineers, designers, and industry professionals for a warm and inspiring day of learning and collaboration.
Under the theme “Smarter, Faster, More Integrated,” the event showcased the power of the new ProtaStructure 2026 Suite, designed to help modern engineers work faster, more accurately, and more connected than ever before.

A Milestone Event for ProtaStructure Users in Thailand

This launch marked an important milestone in Prota Software’s continued expansion across Southeast Asia. Participants experienced first-hand the new generation of ProtaStructure 2026, featuring groundbreaking upgrades in modeling, seismic design, and BIM integration.

The event combined:

• Technical presentations from AppliCAD’s engineering experts,

• Real project stories from local ProtaStructure users,

• And a live integration demo with IDEA StatiCa, showing seamless collaboration for steel connection design.

AppliCAD also introduced their BIM Service & Corporate Training programs for organizations looking to empower their engineering teams with next-level structural design capabilities.

What’s New in ProtaStructure 2026?

ProtaStructure 2026 introduces a major leap forward across three core dimensions:
Smarter. Faster. More Integrated.
Each upgrade was carefully designed to enhance precision, accelerate workflows, and ensure complete alignment with global codes and BIM standards.

 Smarter — Intelligent Modeling & Seismic Design

The 2026 release brings new modeling intelligence and smarter workflows for everyday engineering tasks.
Some highlights include:

• New Stair Modeling for full 3D analysis and detailing directly within the structural model.

• Base Plate Design Module, supporting ACI, AISC, and Eurocode standards — learn more in our New Features Overview.

• Cruciform Columns, Pedestals, and Sub-Basement Walls, allowing for more realistic and complex building layouts.

• Construction Stage Analysis with Shrinkage Effects, providing time-dependent behavior modeling for high-rise and long-span structures — a feature detailed in the Smart Modeling & Seismic Upgrades blog.

These innovations empower engineers to build more accurate, code-compliant, and analysis-ready models without relying on external tools or manual corrections.

 Faster — Streamlined Detailing and Documentation

Efficiency was at the heart of the new release.
ProtaStructure 2026 significantly improves how drawings, reinforcement, and reports are generated:

• Automatic reinforcement layout in mat foundations, column strips, and beams — reducing manual drafting time.

• Enhanced visualization of load types, color-coded views, and custom shortcut configurations for rapid navigation.

• Optimized formwork and reinforcement drawings, including direct display of steel elements in form plans.

You can explore these practical enhancements in the ProtaStructure 2026 Feature Highlights blog.

These upgrades allow users to produce clear, ready-to-issue construction documentation faster than ever, with improved drawing clarity and reduced errors.

More Integrated — Global Codes, Smarter Collaboration

ProtaStructure 2026 enhances global compatibility and strengthens BIM collaboration:

• Extended design code coverage, now including Brazil (NBR), Colombia (NSR-10), Peru (NTE), and India (IS).

• Eurocode NDP Editor, allowing engineers to customize Nationally Determined Parameters — a major step for international adaptability.

• Full IFC4 and IDEA StatiCa integration, enabling smoother interoperability with popular BIM and connection design platforms.

See the complete list of integration improvements in the 2026 vs 2025 Feature Upgrades comparison.

These developments make ProtaStructure 2026 a truly global solution, bridging local design requirements and international collaboration in one connected ecosystem.

Knowledge, Collaboration, and Innovation in One Room

During the launch event, participants shared valuable insights on how ProtaStructure 2026 transforms real engineering workflows.
Live demonstrations revealed how the new version helps engineers:

• Detect modeling issues early using enhanced analysis visualization tools,

• Automate repetitive tasks like reinforcement detailing and report generation,

• And integrate design data with BIM tools for faster, more accurate project delivery.

The atmosphere was filled with professional energy, technical curiosity, and mutual learning — a perfect reflection of our shared commitment to engineering excellence.
