Free structural software? Is there such a thing? It is just knowing
where to look. There are quite a few places now to obtain software. This
page contains information on where to obtain free programs and fully
working programs that the Author allows you to evaluate. All the software
is fully working and no unusable or time limited demos are listed
here. |
|
*
Some software may require registration after an evaluation period. Read
the software documentation for details. |

If
you know of any software that falls into the description on the left,
please e-mail me with details and I will post it up. |

FastFrame by
Enercalc. This is a 32 bit Windows 95, 98 & NT
Two-Dimensional frame analysis program. You can model any type of framed
2D structure by setting "joints" and specifying "members" that span
between them. After loads and load cases are specified the displacements
and forces are calculated by solving a bandwidth minimized stiffness
matrix using an active column solver. US, SI, and Metric units. Requires
800x600 video mode using "Small" fonts. Free
software. (This would have been a 5-star
but for the video mode. It is still useable and I use it!)

Response-2000 is an
easy to use sectional analysis program that will calculate the strength
and ductility of a reinforced concrete cross-section subjected to shear,
moment, and axial load. All three loads are considered simultaneously to
find the full load-deformation response using the latest research based on
the modified compression field theory. The program was developed at the
University of Toronto. |

|
Membrane-2000 is an
easy to use analysis program that will calculate the load-deformation
relationship for a uniform panel of reinforced concrete subjected to
in-plane shear loading. The program implements the Modified Compression
Field Theory as well as the Rotating Angle-Softened Truss Model and the
Fixed Angle-Softened Truss Models. The program was developed at the
University of Toronto. |

Shell-2000 is an easy
to use analysis program that will calculate the load-deformation
relationship for a general plate or shell subjected to any combination of
the 8 loads that are possible for such an element. Shell-2000 is the first
program to properly account for the out-of-plane shear distribution in a
rigorous way. The program implements the Modified Compression Field Theory
to arrive at solutions. The program was developed at the University of
Toronto. |

|
Triax-2000 is an easy
to use analysis program that will calculate the load-deformation
relationship for a uniform block of reinforced concrete in three
dimensions. It may be subjected to any combination of the general 6
stresses that can be applied to an arbitrary 3D block. The program
implements the Modified Compression Field Theory to arrive at solutions.
The program was developed at the University of Toronto. |

Multiple Fastener
Connections (WIN/UK/free) - Developed for the research project 'double
shear timber connections with dowel type fasteners', by Dr.Ir. Andre
Jorissen. With the MFJ program the reduction in the load carrying capacity
for multiple fastener connections can be simulated for a variable number
of fasteners, depending on the geometry and material properties.
