FrameDesign: A Powerful FEA App for 2D Hyperstatic Frame Design
FrameDesign is a robust application tailored for civil engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, and students needing to design 2D hyperstatic frames using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This user-friendly tool simplifies the process of inputting and modifying geometry, forces, supports, and load cases for precise simulations. Real-time calculations deliver immediate results, streamlining the design workflow.
Key Features of FrameDesign:
-
Intuitive Geometry Management: Easily input and modify frame geometry for accurate customization and calculations.
-
Versatile Load Input: Support for diverse load types, including F (force), T (torque), and q (rectangular and triangular loads), enabling realistic scenario modeling.
-
Flexible Beam Connections: Choose between fixed and hinge connections at beam ends for precise representation of structural behavior.
-
Comprehensive Support Options: Utilize various support types—fixed, hinge, roller, and spring supports in any direction—to accurately model external forces.
-
Material and Section Customization: Add or edit materials and sections to optimize design performance and efficiency.
-
Advanced Load Case Analysis: Analyze multiple load cases and combinations, including safety factors, for thorough structural evaluation. This includes analysis of moment, shear, stress, deflection, and reaction forces, along with unity checks.
