How to use

Start a new project by clicking " START NEW PROJECT" or select an existing one

Node Points

Provide the Cartesian coordinates of your structure and note their Cartesian coordinates. Specify the support conditions for each node. The software will generate node numbers automatically. Specify the support conditions for each node, based on the nature of the structural connections. For further instructions and guidance, click the "Instructions" button within the app

Make Members

Connect the nodes based on the generated node numbers to create members. Provide the depth and breadth of each member. The Young's modulus is automatically set to 2 x 10^5 N/mm^2. View Your Model by click the "Model" button to visualize your structure.

Loading

Apply the required load to the structure. Choose from four available loading types.

Nodal Load: For load applied on nodes, enter the load magnitude and angle in degrees.

Point Load: Enter the load magnitude and the distance of the load from the starting node of the member.

Uniformly Distributed Load: Specify the load magnitude, range of the load, and the starting point of the load from the starting node of the member.

Uniformly Varying Load: Enter the magnitude of the start point and end point of the load, as well as the starting point and range of the load.

To save the structure for future analysis, enter a file name and click the "Save" button.

Analysis

Analyze the Structure: Click the "Analyse" button to initiate the analysis of the structure.

Static Analysis: Under static analysis, explore the "Bending Moment Diagram," "Shear Force Diagram," and "Deflection" options to view the corresponding responses of the structure under static loading.

Moving Load Analysis: To observe the entire structure's response to a moving load, move a point load through the desired member(s) of the structure. Adjust the load magnitude (in kilonewtons) and time (in seconds) as needed.

Truss Analysis: Utilize the axial force analysis for truss structures. Set a limit for the axial force on each member and visually verify whether the member reaches the limit load using graphical representation.

Design

This is the final window for analyzing and designing individual members. Begin by entering the member number you wish to analyze.

Click the "Bending Moment Diagram" and "Shear Force Diagram" buttons to view the respective information for the selected member. Specify the distance from the starting point of the member to view shear force and bending moment at a particular point.

Upon clicking the "Analyse" button, you will see the maximum bending moment, shear force, and axial force of the member.

Designing Specific Beam Members: Select the grade of steel, concrete, bar diameter, and size of the bar. Click the "Analyse" button to design the specific member as a beam. The app will provide the number of required longitudinal reinforcements at the top and bottom of the beam, as well as the shear reinforcement information.
