Bureau Veritas Steel v3.0e
3D-beam analysis program based on the displacement method.
It calculates all deformations, local forces, moments and stresses in 3D
frames modelled by beams and submitted to static and thermal loads.
This program includes beam axial and torsional rigidities, additional
beam deformations due to shear forces and beams with rigid ends. The
centre of shear can be different from the centre of gravity.
It is completely interactive giving printed and graphical data and
results outputs:
3D view of the structure and deformations
Beam loads, shear forces and bending moments diagrams
Nodes degrees of freedom
Node loads and reactions
Final check of accuracy
Many types of standard beam types are provided:
H, T, I sections
Rectangular box girder
U section
Cylindrical pipe and bar
Bulb plate
Corrugation
Composite
Custom
Node degrees of freedom can be adjusted to:
Free node
Fixed support
Forced deformation
Elastic support
Possible loads are:
Structure own weight
Concentrated and linear beam loads
Hydrostatic loads
Thermal loads
Combination of loading cases
