FREE FEM code (exemple: Matlab, Octave or other) for STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS and DESIGN
(OP)
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if there was a free code (Maybe designed by universities of other) for the analysis and design of frames for civil engineering.
Thank you
Best Regards

RE: FREE FEM code (exemple: Matlab, Octave or other) for STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS and DESIGN
I found this interesting software online for analysis and design of steel frames:
http://www.cuylaerts.net/
But has a 10 nodes limit...
The main feature is the SHAPE OPTIMIZATION of members accourding of Eurocode and other National Code.
I was searching a STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING free-code for frames analysis and design (better with shape optimizer). Is there anythig like that?
Thanks
Best regards

They don't include a shape optimizer, but they are built into Excel so it would be easy to add your own.
Another open-source program is:
http://opensees.berkeley.edu/
Its focus is seismic analysis, but it will handle static analysis perfectly well as well.
I haven't used it myself for a few years, but from the web-site it looks like it is still under active development.
