Main User Interface Features

•Highly intuitive interface which allows the use the Pocket PC stylus (PocketPC version) or mouse (Windows version) to easily and quickly sketch your structure

•Unlimited Undo/Redo capability

•Saving and opening of model files

•Ability to share models between the PocketPC and Windows versions, just synchronize your file using ActiveSync!

•Help system on both the PocketPC and Windows version

•Immediate display of deformed shape, reactions, and moment, shear and axial force diagrams

•Powerful zooming and panning capabilities

Detailed User Interface Features

•Interactive definition of structure geometry, boundary condition and loads without having to type any values

•Common boundary conditions (pin, roller, fixity) can be easily assigned through toolbar buttons

•Further refinement of properties and load values can be easily accomplished using simple dialog boxes

•Continuous analysis of the structure and display of results as you make modifications

•Continuous feedback on the stability of the structure

•Ability to show/hide:

oNodes

oNode Labels

oNode Forces

oNode Moments

oFrame Elements

oFrame Labels

oFrame End Releases

oFrame Distributed Loads

•Display of deformed shape, moment diagram, shear diagram, axial force diagram and reactions

•The program displays the exact deformed shape and force diagrams (moment, shear, axial):

oThe point with maximum or minimum deformation or force is highlighted

oThe value of the maximum deformation or force is also shown which makes it easy to obtain results very quickly.

oControl what values will be shown on diagrams (you can refine how many values you see in order to optimize your view especially on smaller screens)
