FrameDesign

FrameDesign is a powerful Finite Element Analysis (FEA) application designed for civil engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, and students. It simplifies the design of 2D hyperstatic frames, allowing users to easily input and edit geometry, forces, supports, and load cases for accurate simulations. Real-time calculations provide instant results.

Key features include various load types (F, T, q – including rectangular and triangular loads), customizable beam end connections (fixed and hinge), diverse support options (fixed, hinge, roller, and spring in any direction), and the ability to add or edit materials and sections. Users can analyze moment, shear, stress, deflection, and reaction forces, and perform unity checks. Load cases and combinations, including safety factors, are also supported.

For those seeking early access to the latest advancements, a beta testing program is available. A web version of FrameDesign is also accessible at framedesign.letsconstruct.nl.

Features of FrameDesign:

• Geometry Input and Editing: Precisely customize frame designs for accurate calculations.
• Load Input: Apply various load types (F, T, q) for realistic simulations.
• Beam Connections: Model fixed and hinge connections at beam ends for accurate structural behavior representation.
• Support Options: Utilize a range of support types (fixed, hinge, roller, spring) in any direction.
• Material and Section Editing: Select and modify materials and sections for optimal performance.
• Load Cases and Combinations: Simulate various scenarios and analyze frame behavior under different conditions, including safety factors.
