AMSES

The AMSES software consists of two programs which are widely used in structural engineering.

Frame2D is a structural engineering tool used to calculate internal forces, displacements and performs design of the elements. Many structures can be analyzed: planar frames, continuous beams, trusses, cantilevers, and so on. The design is an extra feature and is based on European building codes (Eurocode 2 - design of reinforced concrete structures and Eurocode 3 - design of steel structures).
Plate - FEM analysis and design of reinforced concrete slabs according to Eurocode 2. The program uses enhanced user interface for the geometry and load input. The load is organised in actions (load groups) which are combined in load cases. No special care is needed for mesh, since the mesh is automaticaly generated. Kirchhoff (thin plate theory) internal forces are calculated, principal moments, design moments and reinforcement areas.
