Software products

We develop software to match the exacting demands of the world’s leading designers.

Arup began developing its own software more than 40 years ago in response to our evolving challenges. Today, our software house Oasys brings relevant, flexible tools to organisations worldwide.

Oasys software leads the field in structural, seismic, geotechnical and document management. Its programs are used across 200 countries, by leading designers of the built environment – including the UK’s top 25 building design consultants – and by numerous universities.

Powerful tools

For the analysis behind high-performance structures, designers depend on sophisticated, customisable tools. They also need to communicate complex information to clients, collaborators and stakeholders through accessible but compelling visualisations.

Oasys’ structural software programs answer these demands. They support the design process from the initial concept to the finest detail, from tall buildings and rail bridges to deep foundations.

Programs such as GSA Suite have helped engineers to realise landmark projects worldwide, from the Beijing National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) to the United States Air Force Memorial in Washington.

Oasys’ seismic programs facilitate the design of resilient structures, able to withstand earthquakes. Our geotechnical software helps construct stable foundations, retaining walls, tunnels and cavern structures.

Advanced challenges

Design problems often require unique solutions. Oasys’ specialist engineering analysis software can help solve the trickiest of challenges, from analysing how feather-light fabrics perform to understanding the effects of extreme blasts.

These specialist software products include MassMotion, an advanced tool for simulating and analysing crowds. MassMotion’s rapid analysis of complex pedestrian networks saves time and improves communication on major projects such as Transbay Transit Center, San Francisco.

Changing needs

Many of the issues that face building and infrastructure designers are common across the business world. Sustainable operations and modern information management transcend individual sector needs.

Oasys’ email and document management software helps organisations, from accountants to local governments, to better organise and share electronic information.
