Framework
The “Framework” module is used to calculate internal forces and reactions for bar-shaped load-bearing structures as 2D or 3D systems. The graphical input with templates and wizards quickly provides a calculable system. The initial values for a design for steel, timber, reinforced concrete or aluminum are provided with the fully automatic superposition. Eigenvalues and eigenmodes can be calculated for dynamic investigations.
