Hear what key LUSAS staff say about this release

"Our goal is to deliver as closely as possible to market needs now and to predict market change in the future.


LUSAS version 21 realises our long term goal of a single solution for the comprehensive modelling of soil and structure connected. Many of our global markets have indicated a need and a gap in this area in recent years. We are delighted to deliver V21 to fullfil this.


We also retain a focus on CAD interoperability. REVIT was the prime target from our market research and is the first to be implemented with this release. Other major CAD plugins will follow."


Philip Icke, Marketing Director

"At the heart of LUSAS is a powerful analysis engine.  In recent versions we’ve added comprehensive design tools, and now version 21 opens the door to that analytical power. For geotechnical modelling, for nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete components, and for staged construction, there are steps up in functionality and in ease of use. 


With the new Revit plugin and Python capabilities alongside the Grasshopper plugin and import/export facilities, LUSAS can now be used as a more productive part of your workflow. There’s more automation for balanced cantilever bridges, pedestrian dynamics and other applications, more speed and less fuss -  not least with the highway and railway traffic load optimisation. Looking better than ever before, we hope you will enjoy using LUSAS version 21."


Steve Rhodes, Technical Director

"Version 21 is a substantial upgrade that incorporates many user requests, reflecting our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our clients.


We encourage you to delve into the comprehensive list of improvements to discover the full range and benefits of using the new facilities and enhancements provided.


Should users require assistance or guidance, our dedicated support team is ready to help. Your satisfaction and success with LUSAS are our top priorities."


Dr Ahad Kolahi, Head of Technical Services
