EngiSSol 2.0 is a useful software for structural analysis

EngiSSol has developed 2D Frame Analysis Dynamic Edition. This construction program applies improved finite elements (beam elements) with the purpose of carrying out static and dynamic analysis of beams, frames and trusses.

It is very recognized due to it’s simple interface and smooth customization.

Analysis features:

• Employs exceedingly flexible, general, finite element method
• Perform static and dynamic analysis of multi span beams, 2D trusses and 2D frames
• Modal analysis and eigen values estimation
• User controlled damping coefficient
• Mode superposition method useful for making estimation of the dynamic response
• Automatic formation of constant mass matrix (Engissols patent)

• Completely customized multi-step dynamic analysis
• User controlled step and time parameters
• Definition of time-dependent loading on elements and nodes
• Infinite number of Nodes and Beams

• 3 Degrees of freedom per Node, 6 per Beam
• Compatible with all leading measure units
• Different types of boundary conditions (fixed, rollers, etc. )
• Translational and rotational spring supports
• Initial displacement and speed conditions
