This basic module contains a linear elastic analysis of forces and displacements of 1D-Beams with free positioning of supports.
Geometry:
- Graphical and table input of the geometry, load, load cases and load combinations
- Parametric sections for I, T, L, circle, tube, rectangular and RHS
- Support of user defined sections
- Section library with database cross sections
- Support of tapered sections
- Support of section rotation
- Restrained, free, spring and roll supports
- Elastic foundation
- Tension elimination
Loads and Loads Combinations:
- Uniform distributed -, trapezoidal-, triangle- and concentrated loads on members
- Concentrated- and nodal loads at an angle
- Equal and unequal temperature loads, imposed deformations and self weight
- Loads can be grouped into load cases. These can be combined into persistent, accidental, characteristic, frequent, quasi-permanent and mass load combinations
Results:
- Linear elastic analysis
- Forces and displacement per field
- Envelope for bending moments and shear-forces
- Supports can be dragged with the mouse interactively after which the results are available at once
- Support reactions with a check on the sum of the loads and the sum of the reactions
Troubleshooting:
1D-Beam is entered as one beam based on one or several supports. So it is not divided into members defined for every separate support.
