ATIR Engineering Software Development Ltd was founded in 1983
with the aim of developing structural analysis and design
software for use on personal computers. ATIR's staff of software
and structural engineers, aided by a team of academic experts,
have been dedicated to the task of creating top quality programs
for the construction industry.
ATIR set its goal to produce a structural analysis program
that would be sophisticated and comprehensive and at the same
time easy to use for the average engineer. The very first
version of STRAP, released in 1984, already featured an
interactive user interface, unlike the batch processing method
used by other programs available at that time. ATIR introduced a
true graphical interface in version 6.0 of STRAP, as early as
1989, long before Windows based programs became popular. STRAP
incorporates the feedback from many hundreds of satisfied users
worldwide.
ATIR's programs are used by large prestigious firms and by
public and government concerns as well as small consulting
offices throughout the world. STRAP has been used for the design
of very large projects like the Queen Elisabeth II bridge in the
UK, the second Tagus crossing in Portugal and the "New Hong
Kong Bridge".
