Your basic Finite Element Analysis (FEA or FEM) applied in engineering. The structural analysis uses the stiffness method and the application contains an optimization tool based on an iterative technique to select the optimal steel sections using on the prescribed criteria (minimum weight or section height).
- Grid system to draw - Export draw as PNG and PDF format - Zoom in and out - Export inputs/settings as HTML format - Export results analysis as txt format - Useful documentation to getting started with app and with engine Finite Element Method
The application provides the following output:
a. AxialForces b. Shear Forces (in-plane) c. Shear Forces (out-of-plane) d. Bending Moments (in-plane) e. Bending Moments (out-of-plane) f. Torsion g. Deformations (in-plane) h. Deformations (out-of-plane) i. Reactions j. Matrices: i. Structure Stiffness Matrix ii. Location Matrix iii. Load Vector iv. Member Matrices v.Global Displacement Matrix vi. Member End Forces (n.b. matrices are outputted with the selected input load case to enable output of lower level data such as member matrices, etc) k. Member Sizing
