Design
Now all common construction materials can be designed in FEM-Design. In addition to steel and concrete, timber frames and panels can be designed according to EC5.
Tensile cables and non-linear spring supports have been added to accomodate for modelling of all types of structures. Reinforced concrete crack analysis has been added to 3D-analysis.
...and more
FEM-Design 9 has increased performance with a new graphical engine (including transparency and orbit rotation), 64-bit support and vastly improved analysis calculation times.
New feature AutoDesign can automatically choose the optimal section for single or groups of elements from a chosen subset. Slender (class 4) steel sections and automated reinforcement distribution considering moments and crack widths have been added.
