Modeling

• Model by graphic interface, standard structure wizard, or text input
• Import of three-dimensional CAD file
• Section input by library, shape, or property values
• Spring supports
• Member releases
• 3-D member offsets
• Semi-rigid connections with axial springs
• Tension-only and compression-only members
• Catenary cable element
• Node extrusion during copying
• Stretch, curve, arc, and helix commands
• Member orientation by reference node or axis

Analysis

• Comprehensive consistency check
• Automatic profile optimization
• Linear and non-linear static analysis
• Elastic critical load analysis
• Modes of vibration and response spectrum
• Master-slave constraints
• Gap & fuse members
