Shear Wall Analysis (General)
- Lateral force distribution analysis for a rigid
diaphragm, connected to randomly located shear walls
providing lateral support.
- The walls that resist the diaphragm motion are considered
flexible as compared to the diaphragm and the lateral
story shear is distributed through this rigid diaphragm
to the resisting walls in proportion to the rigidities
of the walls and the motion of the diaphragm.
- Modern buildings tend to be irregular in shape and
the placement of shear walls is not always ideal to
resist torsional motion of the diaphragm.
- Analyze any typical story of such buildings. The
effect of openings in the walls and different properties
of the walls and diaphragms can be considered in the
analysis.
- A comprehensive output, which reports the coordinate
of Center of Mass and Center of Rigidity and also
provides the details of lateral forces induced on
the walls due to direct forces and torsional moments.

Seismic Force Distribution
on Shear Walls (Per UBC – 1997)
- Seismic force distribution analysis for a rigid
diaphragm, connected to randomly located shear walls
providing lateral support, per UBC-1997.
- The walls that resist the diaphragm motion are considered
flexible as compared to the diaphragm and the lateral
story shear is distributed through this rigid diaphragm
to the resisting walls in proportion to the rigidities
of the walls and the motion of the diaphragm.
- Modern buildings tend to be irregular in shape and
the placement of shear walls is not always ideal to
resist torsional motion of the diaphragm.
- Analyze any typical story of a building with due
consideration of direct shear (per sec. 1630.6) and
horizontal torsional moment (per sec. 1630.7). The
effect of openings in the walls and different properties
of the walls and diaphragms can be considered in the
analysis.
- A comprehensive output, which reports the coordinate
of Center of Mass and Center of Rigidity and also
provides the details of lateral forces induced on
the walls due to direct forces and torsional moments
for all possible cases.

Laterally Loaded Pile Analysis
(Beams on Elastic Foundation)
- Analyze a fully or partially embedded single pile
against lateral load, considering soil-structure interaction.
- Finite Element method is used to obtain the solutions
to the above problem.
- Conventional 2D-beam elements are used to model
piles.
- Soil is modeled by linear springs.
- The effect of stratification of soil and head condition
of pile can be considered in the analysis.
- A comprehensive output provides the user the information
about nodal displacements, shear force and bending
moment distribution along the pile-length and forces
developed in the soil springs, in tabular and graphical
formats.

3D Structural Analysis
- Create a model up to 35 members in any fashion you
like! Good for continuous beams, frames, etc.!
- Allow any supports, member releases, beta angles,
material constants.
- Pick section properties from a myriad of country
tables (all standard sections included!)
- Apply joint, member (uniform force, uniform moment,
trapezoidal, linearly varying, triangular), selfweight,
and temperature (varying across the depth and width)
loads.
- Configure as many load combinations with user defined
factors.
- Edit, delete, change parameters with the click of
a button.
- Customizable reports.
- Dynamic/Interactive graphics for validation and
verification. Rotate, zoom, pan, or label your structure.
- Reports and plots displacements, support reactions
and member end forces.
