CompWebPen: web penetration software
This specialised software tool is purpose-built to help you analyse your composite steel-concrete beams with web penetrations.
Whether you’re designing for various slab widths and thicknesses or experimenting with custom penetration shapes, this software brings flexibility and compliance together in one easy-to-use platform.
Built to work seamlessly with our existing Composite beam & slab tool – CompWebPen is a windows application, that’ll streamline your workflow and align your designs to AS/NZS 2327:2017 Amd1 2020.
About this software
Key features
Precision meets performance – evaluate the structural behaviour of composite steel-concrete beams with penetrations to help ensure structural integrity is maintained in a cost-effective and time-efficient way. From actions along the beam to stud capacity and penetration effects — this tool has you covered.
Design flexibility – supports various slab configurations and web penetrations. Whether rectangular, circular, elongated, stiffened or unstiffened -you’re in control of the design.
Seamless integration – designed to work with HERA’s Composite Beam & Slab Tool. Basic beam data and loading inputs are easily imported via XML files—saving you time and reducing manual input.
User-friendly interface: engineers of all levels will find the navigation intuitive, with clearly presented clauses and equations from AS/NZS 2327 that enhance confidence and compliance.

How it works
This software imports key data from our Composite beam & slab tool, including beam and loading parameters.
Engineers can override inputs as needed, then define the location, size, and shape of web penetrations for analysis. The results and data are saved locally for further use and design iteration.
Cost
This is an open-access tool, with pricing based on the number of licences your team needs.
It has been integrated seamlessly with our composite beam and slab tool for a more streamlined design process.

Already using our composite beam and slab tool?
To make things easier, we’ve aligned licence dates across both tools. That means:
- You’ll pay for both tools upfront when purchasing CompWebPen.
- If you already hold an active licence for the Composite beam & slab tool, we’ll refund the portion of your existing licence based on the remaining term.
This approach ensures your renewal dates are synced for simpler licence management going forward.
