Question
  Dear Arshad,
First of all, I would like to thank you for answering my earlier question. This time, I would like to purchase a software program called "Floor" that specifically addresses to Reinforced Flat Slab design as well as Post-Tensioned Flat Slab design by using Finite Analysis method. No matter where I looked and how much I searched on the internet I could not find the developer company that I can get in touch. if you heard or used this program before, could you let me know? Thanks again in advance.

Regards,  

Answer

Hi Adam,

I think you are referring to the ADAPT-Floor software, which is a very good one for PT flat slabs. Check out:

Recently I noticed that STAAD.Pro is offering ADAPT-Floor as part of the package- that may be of interest to you.

I hope that helps!

Kind regards,

Arshad
