Limitations
Although the program is generously designed, it has the following limitations for the various components:
| Item | Limit |
|---|---|
| Highest node number | 1000 |
| Highest member number | 2000 |
| Highest profile number | 100 |
| Highest connection number | 100 |
| Number of load cases | 250 |
| Number of load cases per combination | 15 |
| Number of load combinations | 250 |
-
The program is only suitable for prismatic members. A non-prismatic member can of course be simulated by dividing it into a number of members with varying stiffnesses.
-
Moment-fixed connections (node joints) can only be represented as linear springs. A non-linear (or tri-linear) representation is not yet possible.
