probably if you are in a country in which seismic loading/response is not an issue and for small to mid size buildings could be productive. It´s kind of a " black box" and their FEM elements are kind of "special" not normal FEM.
Also the drawings need some ( a lot ) of work to be presentable an to be "good for construction"
Used once to design a 2 floor building but got strange values , lot's of steel in footings , huge footings, none compatible with my geothecnical information.
Best regards
