What is structural analysis software?
Structural analysis software, also known as finite element analysis software, evaluates a structure’s ability to withstand external loads. Structural design software assesses a structures ability to meet design code requirements.
When you visit the top of a skyscraper, sit in a sports stadium, drive over a bridge, walk through a warehouse, factory, school, or any large structure, you know you’re on solid footing because they are engineered to be structurally sound. Since 1981 S-FRAME Software’s contributing role in this essential engineering process is to develop and support structural analysis software and structural design software.
Why are we called S-FRAME Software?
“S” is for spacial frames, hence the name S-FRAME Analysis, first released in 1984. Since then S-FRAME Analysis has evolved into a powerful, 3D finite element structural analysis software platform that includes STEEL Design, CONCRETE Design, FOUNDATION Design, and TIMBER Design
Our mission is to provide software that helps structural engineers produce Robust Designs: designs less sensitive to loading variations and deviations from the intended design specifications during a structure’s life cycle. Our software evaluates your model’s response to wind, snow, water, linear, non-linear, seismic, blast, self-weight, moving loads or other dynamic loading conditions.
