RE: STRAUS 7 SOFTWARE
I use Strand 7 sporadically, but when I do I find it absolutely brilliant. I have carried out analysis on several brackets and found it to be very ggod. I have compared the values against tested values and found them to be more than accetable.
I have no experience of other FEA programs, but have found this to be very user friendly.
Additionally I use it for 'simple' beam analysis, and find it much better than P Frame as the BM diagrams, deflections etc. are all displayed on the model. The animation facility has been particularly handy. This can be used to show how the model deflects into such weird and wonderfull shapes.
I've written some very brief tutorials on how to use Strand, which show just how easy it is to use. These can be found at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stephen.napper1/Autocad/Strand/Index.htm
Strand's agent in the UK can be found at www.iuk.co.uk and is very, very helpfull.
