ANSYS is a general purpose finite element modeling package for numerically solving a wide variety of mechanical problems. These problems include: static/dynamic structural analysis (both linear and non-linear), heat transfer and fluid problems, as well as acoustic and electromagnetic problems. Most of these tutorials have been created using ANSYS 7.0, therefore, make note of small changes in the menu structure if you are using an older or newer version.

These pages are intended to serve several purposes. They introduce Finite Element Analysis (FEA), which I use regularly. They include my experiences using FEA with ANSYS®. These web pages record and share insights into ANSYS and finite element techniques that I acquire from work on various kinds of models. A page of ANSYS Tips and a page of FEA Modeling Issues give in-depth discussion. ANSYS terminology is used in these documents. I am publishing these web pages independently, and have included no proprietary insights or information.

Founded in 1975 by company President Ashraf Habibullah, CSI is recognized worldwide as an innovative leader in the development of software tools for the analysis and design of civil structures. CSI products are licensed to thousands of structural engineering firms throughout the USA and in more than 100 other countries. The development of CSI software spans three decades, starting with the research of Dr. Edward L. Wilson at the University of California at Berkeley. The revolutionary SAP program was first released in 1970.

La Computers and Structures Inc., ha sede a Berkeley in California e fa capo ai Prof.ri Edward L. Wilson e Ashraf Habibullah. Da oltre 25 anni sono gli autori originali della serie di programmi SAP e TABS, culminati nelle attuali versioni SAP 2000, ETABS e SAFE. La Brunetta e Brunetta Engineering può vantare una collaborazione diretta con la CSI Inc. che dura ormai dal 1990, per questo è l'unica azienda italiana autorizzata a rappresentarla.

MIDAS/Civil is a Total Integrated Solution System for Civil Structural Engineering. The System combines General Purpose Structural Analysis Features and Civil Engineering-specific Structural Analysis Capabilities. It includes Pre-stressed Concrete Box, Suspension and Cable-Stayed Bridge Analysis features and other useful Civil Structure Analysis features such as Heat of Hydration analysis, which reflect Construction Sequence.

In Italia MIDAS è seguita e supportata da CSP Fea, che, oltre all'attività commerciale, ha il compito di localizzare il software MIDAS in Europa ed in particolare in Italia, nonché di seguire gli utenti di MIDAS.

NEi Nastran is a powerful, general purpose finite element analysis tool with an integrated graphical user interface and model Editor which is used to analyze linear and nonlinear stress, dynamics, and heat transfer characteristics of structures and mechanical components.

AxisVM is a high productivity finite element analysis software tool for civil engineers. Due to it's extensive analysis capabilities (designed for use by civil engineers), AxisVM (and it's predecessor, Axis-3D) proved to be successful applied in design of projects ranging from world-class international airports to design of steel microwave towers, from mega shopping malls to school gymnasiums, from showrooms and theaters to municipal water tanks, even underground structures.

Edisis 2000 è un applicativo Windows per l'analisi e il calcolo strutturale, finalizzato alla progettazione e verifica di edifici multipiano in zona sismica e non, caratterizzato da affidabilità di modellazione, semplicità di input e velocità di esecuzione. Il programma è specifico per strutture in cemento armato e fornisce, a partire da una descrizione minimale delle geometrie e dei carichi, un progetto strutturale completo, inclusi i disegni esecutivi e la relazione di calcolo.

OpenFEM is a finite element toolbox designed to be used within a matrix computing environment. It is available for both MATLAB and SCILAB. So far, OpenFEM has been jointly developed by INRIA (in the MACS research team) and the SDTools company, based on the existing software packages MODULEF and SDT (Structural Dynamics Toolbox).

Welcome to the website for OpenSees, a software framework for developing applications to simulate the performance of structural and geotechnical systems subjected to earthquakes. The goal of the OpenSees development is to improve the modeling and computational simulation in earthquake engineering through open-source development.
