SW FEA 2D Frame Analysis 2.4.1

SW FEA is a finite element analysis application designed for the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate plane frames. Its practical applications cater to civil engineers, architects, mechanical engineers, and students.

• Build frame geometry graphically by adding nodes and members
• Edit frame geometry by manipulating nodes or changing node coordinates
• Assign Fixed, Hinged, and Roller supports, with the flexibility to add Roller supports at any angle
• Add point loads to any member or node, at any desired angle, and include moment loads
• Incorporate uniform or linearly varying distributed loads at any angle to a member
• Include internal pin connections to any member
• Calculate internal forces due to support displacements and determine support reactions
• Generate axial force, shear force, and bending moment diagrams. Also, calculate and visualize slope variation and the deformed elastic curve
• Illustrate free body diagrams of individual members
• Adjust section properties (Young's modulus, moment of inertia, cross-section area, unit weight) for individual members

• Perform immediate calculations and seamlessly switch between Metric or Imperial units
• Utilize the inbuilt scientific calculator for precise inputs
• Save and load created frames with ease
• Support multi-touch gestures such as Pinch zoom

• Generate detailed analysis reports in PDF format for documentation
• Share projects collaboratively with other users or export them for future use
