Module Title:
A.04 - Advanced analysis of general structures including finite element capability
Description
This module allows the creation of beam type structures such as plane frames, space frames, plane grillages and offset beam grillages. Member properties can be assigned by specifying section files created by the section property module (S.01), by using in-built libraries of standard shapes, by using parametric shapes, by specifying actual values of the properties, or by associating beams created in the beams modules (B.01, B.03, B.04 and B.05). Stage construction is permitted.
Traffic loads for bridges for the Eurocodes can be placed by the user in areas of maximum influence, aided by the influence surface generator.
After analysis, results can be filtered as needed, and exported to worksheets or other programs via the Windows clipboard.
Tables of moment, shear and axial action can be exported to the relevant beam files for design. It is then possible to do the design and check the beams adequacy almost immediately. If the beam changes it is simple to re-incorporate it into the model and re-analyse, re-export and then re-check the design.
