Discover the powerful new features in spMats v10.50, the industry-leading structural engineering software for reinforced concrete slab and foundation design. This update enhances productivity, accuracy, and code compliance with improvements to reinforcement design, pile reactions, drafting tools, mesh quality, and more.

The most significant upgrade to spMats since its inception features a pioneering interface for intuitive modeling, fast results, logical reporting, and sophisticated tools all cleverly integrated into a simple and friendly workspace.

Start with a template or create grids based on structural drawings to set up the foundation geometry and restraints. Define and assign slabs, columns, piles, nodes, restraints, and loads using familiar CAD tools to move, resize, duplicate, mirror, align and split objects.

Open existing models from the project menu or recent files. Edit slabs, columns, grids, loads, and other objects using the toolbar or graphical commands. Move or resize items, adjust slab dimensions, and add grids, columns, or openings. Toggle display settings, use multiple viewports, and manage overlapping slabs with the arrange tool.

Adjust solver and mesh options to refine accuracy, then run the analysis. View soil pressure, displacements, internal forces, and reinforcement through contour maps with customizable display settings. Access the Tables Module to review inputs and outputs, filter ranges, and export results.

spMats features a modern reporting tool that allows users to view, customize, print, and export reports in various formats. The tool helps generate professional project submittals with flexible options to include as much or as little detail as needed. Users can also add detailed screenshots of diagrams to better illustrate structural behavior within the reports.

Templates in spMats offer predefined mat foundation systems, allowing users to create models simply, quickly, and accurately. Users can select from various foundations categories and customize parameters like dimensions, columns, soil, piles and loads. Models are ready for analysis within minutes, with design results available for immediate review.
