SW FEA 2D Frame Analysis

Softwel/Aviyaan Tech

About this app

SW FEA is a finite element analysis app for the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate plane frames. This app is useful to civil engineers, architects, mechanical engineers and students.

Features

-Build frame geometry by adding nodes and members graphically.
-Edit frame geometry by dragging nodes or changing node coordinates.
-Assign Fixed, Hinged and Roller supports. Roller supports can be added at any angle.
-Add point loads to any member or node, at any angle. Also add moment loads.
-Add uniform or linearly varying distributed loads at any angle to a member.
-Add internal pin connections to any member.
-Calculates internal forces due to support displacements.
-Calculates support reactions.
-Generates axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams. Also calculates and draws slope variation and the deformed elastic curve.
-Draws free body diagrams of individual members.
-Modify section properties (Young's modulus, moment of inertia, cross-section area, unit weight) for individual members

-Calculations are performed immediately.

-Use Metric or Imperial units.
-Inbuilt scientific calculator for input.
-Save and open created frames.
-Supports multi-touch gestures (Pinch zoom).
-Generates analysis report as PDF files.
-Share projects with other users, or export them for later use.

Ratings and reviews

Great for engineering practice problems. And the graphics are superb. My compliments to the app's developers. Lately,however, in the bending moment diagrams (frame element), the numbers such as newton-meters for example , the numbers on the bottom of the diagram has not been as accurate as the computations from the engineering formulas. Could you please look into it and inform me? I would greatly appreciate it. Also, it might be my android phone. I'll have it checked with my mobile phone store.

If I know how to calculate and obtain the values ​​of the reactions, moments, shear diagrams... Ect of absolutely any type of structure, even inclined, or with side sway, whatever; I spend my time looking for difficult frames to analyze and I solve them all well and the values ​​are the same as this beautiful app. Can it be considered that I know structure analysis? What am I missing?

I am from Nepal currently studying in Trinity college in Dublin. Our lecturer suggested the classroom to use the app for structural analysis which I have been finding quite helpful. There's definitely some work to be done to make it more accessible and a better experience but overall a very good app. Had to leave a comment, Proud moment I guess!
