FrameDesign is a powerful FEA-based application designed for civil and mechanical engineers, architects, and students needing to design 2D hyperstatic frames. This intuitive tool allows for easy input and modification of geometry, forces, supports, and load cases, delivering real-time calculation results for accurate simulations.
Key features include diverse load types (F, T, q – including rectangular and triangular loads), customizable beam end connections (fixed or hinge), versatile support options (fixed, hinge, roller, spring in any direction), and flexible material and section editing. Users can analyze moment, shear, stress, deflection, and reaction forces, conducting unity checks to ensure structural integrity.
Furthermore, FrameDesign offers load case and combination analysis, incorporating safety factors for comprehensive structural evaluation. The application provides a user-friendly interface for designing 2D hyperstatic frames using Finite Element Analysis. Its comprehensive feature set simplifies geometry input and editing, load definition, beam connection specification, support selection, and material/section adjustments. Analysis of various load cases and combinations provides valuable insights into frame performance.
