Robobat are pleased to announce that they will providing much of their "ROBOT Millennium" software free of charge in the future. Registration is a simple process after which Robobat will send the user a password to use the software. ROBOT Freeware will be an “indefinite” licence and does not require any commitment from the user at any time towards Robobat Key features of ROBOT Freeware are:
• 2d frame, truss and grillage analysis of up to 3000 nodes
• 3d frame and truss analysis of up to 3000 nodes
• Section libraries and section property calculator
• FE plate and shell analysis with auto meshing – up to 50 finite elements
• Linear analysis and 1st mode dynamic analysis
• In fact ROBOT Freeware will provide a solution for the engineer to carry out the vast majority of their everyday analysis work.

Topocad is a CAD software for surveying, mapping and design. With Topocad you have an integrated software from survey to mapping to design and out again to the fi eld. A number of modules gives you tool for mapping, digital terrain modelling, longitudinal sections, cross sections, tunnel calculation, net adjustment, database connection. Topocad is a stand alone CAD and a world wide used product, today, translated into 15 languages and spread into more than 80 countries. Topocad gives the site surveyor the tool he need, the quantity surveyor the calculations he need, the civil engineer the design tool he requires and the mapper the CAD tool he asks for. Typical Topocad users are cadastre bureaus, municipality offi ces, construction companies, planning and design companies/bureaus, surveying consultancies, land survey department.
