-
Linear finite element analysis (FEA) of beams
using line (Euler Beam) elements.
-
Easily define beam cross sections. Prism can read
AutoCAD dxf drawings of beam cross sections.
-
Element masses modeled as continuous, distributed
masses rather than lumped masses.
-
Rigid, pinned and sliding
connections.
-
Thermal
expansion/contraction analysis
-
Minimum 6 DOF per
node
- Automatic node assignments. Nodes will be displayed
automatically
- Store material library files and cross section files for future use.
- Multi-plane loading
- Concentrated force & moment loads
- Distributed force & moment loads
- Summary report generation
- Linear and angular deflections, overall displacements, force
& moment reactions, normal & shear stresses, maximum principal
stress & strain, Von Mises stress, St Venant, strain energy
density, Tresca.
- Frequency response
- View results as interactive graphs
- Editing commands: change beam cross sections in place, move &
rotate.
- US or SI units with automatic
conversion
- Operating System: Windows NT,
2000 & XP
