Compos
Unique composite beam design and analysis.
What is Compos
Complete composite beam design
In addition to composite beam design and analysis, Oasys Compos can perform footfall induced vibration analysis for regular composite floors using Resotec Damping System. It can handle composite beams with variable slab widths and thicknesses, tapered plate girders as well as web penetrations and notches, with or without stiffeners. The software does everything an engineer needs to analyse and design composite beams at construction and final stages, including automatically selecting beams and studs.
Core capabilities
Seamless composite beam design
Design and analyse studded composite and non-composite steel beams with ease.
Ultimate and serviceability limit states
Design to ultimate and serviceability limit states, such as vibration frequency, deflection, beam weight and depth. Beams can be linked together, so that secondary beams load primary ones.
Resotec Damping System
Footfall induced vibration analysis for regular composite floor with and without Resotec Damping System from Richard Lees Decking.
Why choose Compos
Compos gives engineers unmatched confidence in composite beam design. With exclusive footfall‑vibration analysis using the Resotec Damping System, powerful modelling for complex geometries, and automatic beam and stud optimisation, Compos delivers accuracy, speed, and reliability in every project.
Purpose‑built for modern structural workflows, it’s the smarter, faster way to design safe, efficient, high‑performance composite structures. Engineers can streamline their workflow by designing composite beams in Compos and then seamlessly passing models into Oasys GSA for advanced structural analysis, giving them fast, accurate insight across both detailed beam design and whole‑structure behaviour.
