Main features and characteristics
The main features and characteristics of the program are the following:
- The 3D model is described in an input file (in text format).
- The program draws and shows the model in a simple figure (in 3D). The user can rotate the figure and view the 3D model in different angles.
- It calculates the Node Displacements, Element Forces, Stresses and Strains and the Constraint Reactions.
- The results of the analysis are written in an output file (in text format).
- It supports nodal forces, given in the global coordinate system (Fx, Fy, Fz).
- The source code is well commented, since it is developed mainly for educational purposes.
- The results of the program have been verified by comparison with the results of ABAQUS (v 6.13.1) and SAP2000 (v 17.2.0) software (see “Verification files”).
