Fachwerk calculates strut-and-tie models used by
structural engineers for analysing and designing
reinforced concrete structures. The program only
uses the equilibrium conditions, thus it is not
assuming elastic behaviour.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
This release adds a mechanism check algorithm. It is based on theory of plasticity's upper bound (kinematic) theorem. Mechanisms are shown graphically, thus finding missing members of an incomplete strut-and-tie model is simplified.
This release adds the ability to split members.
The status line information for members has been
enhanced. In addition to the member force, its
horizontal and vertical components are displayed.
This release improves usability issues. The zoom remains unchanged when a member is created or when the properties of a member are changed. A right click on a member or on a node opens its property dialog. Hidden or frozen layers of dxf drawings are not shown anymore.
