A defining feature of ideCAD is its automated compliance with major design codes, particularly concerning crack control. The software automatically performs crack width calculations and checks them against the permissible limits, which vary based on the exposure conditions of the concrete element.

ideCAD handles cracking through specific analysis modules and design checks for reinforced concrete elements:

: ideCAD generates the stiffness of cracked sections automatically. This is critical for reinforced concrete buildings where axial, flexural, and shear cracking affect the effective stiffness of elements. Serviceability & Deflection
