Use of highly flexible, general, finite element method
Static Analysis of Multi span beams, 2D Trusses and 2D Frames
Unlimited number of Nodes and Beams
3 Degrees of freedom per Node, 6 per Beam
Compatibility with any consistent system of units
All type of boundary conditions (fixed, rollers, etc.)
Bent support conditions with respect to the global coordinate system, e.g. roller at 30 degrees in Node #4.(Nodal constraints in all directions)
Separate Coordinate System for each node
Rotational Springs
Unlimited number of translational around a node (direction and stiffness for each one)
Consideration of any translational and rotational displacements of the support conditions
No need to define first Nodes and then Beams, Nodes are produced automatically
Consideration of thermal loads
Ability to modify the beam material properties easily and fast
Static Load is given with respect to the global or local system of each beam or Node
Quick release 1 to 3 degrees of freedom at the starting or ending node of each beam in a user defined local coordinate system
Vertical and Horizontal Distribution Load on beams
