FrameDesign
You can input and edit hyper static structures, forces, supports etc both graphically and textually. The calculations are performed immediately.
Main features are:✓ F, T and q (rectangular and triangular) loads✓ Fixed and hinge connections at beam ends✓ Moment, Shear, Stress, Deflection, Reaction forces and Unity checks✓ Imposed deflections✓ M, N, V, ux, uz, utot, phi, sigma and unity checks output✓ Fixed, hinge and roller supports in any direction✓ Load cases and load combinations, including safety factors✓ Profile groups; each group can have its own color
✓ Import any steel profile or general section from our free Engineering Libraries (EU, UK, AU, US & CA profiles)✓ Import dxf files✓ Export to our Concrete Design and Steel Design apps✓ Share picture
✓ Snap points✓ Undo function✓ Annotations✓ Formulas✓ Multi copy✓ Scale entire structure✓ Trim/extend✓ Automatic dimension lines (Autocad look)✓ Element and node numbers✓ Both graphical and textual edit modes✓ Metric & Imperial units✓ Multitouch zoom (pinch zooming)✓ Many options for showing/hiding items✓ Options to set almost all colors in the app✓ Dark and light theme✓ Available in 10 Languages✓ Save your structures in the cloud (CloudConstruct)✓ Built-in simple scientific calculator✓ Wobbly effect

This is good app. Works better. At first I thought it was drawing only bending moment diagram but when I checked the Results option I realized that this was set to moment digram by default. You can draw shear force, axial force and bemding moment with it. But the only thing is that it is designed only for frames. It would be better if it were able to calculate beams and trusses too.
This app needs step by step detailed tutorial. I took hours to learn using it. Moment results in green color redability is poor. When two results are nearby they merge and it's not readable. No result should over lap. Uniform load one should also be able to apply by node no. to node no. in a dialog box. It will be faster and more accurate. In present method if load is applied a little distance away from node it is not seen easily. K. D. Shah
best app for Frame analysis, graphic features good. Instead of of steel sections, if able ti add sections of rectangular, circle with material property and stiffness input manual it would be good
I can't save my work on this updated version, it's like I got punished for updating this app.What happend to you people?
For newbie like me this is super helpful and easy to use. Thank you very much! I'd help importing material properties like you did separate app for profiles.
Super useful and accurate tool that I've used a lot! But i cant purchase the version without ads from the link inside the app
why when i switch to see for ex. reactions or shear forces it doesnt show it and when i go back to results they are turn off.every time i turn something on it automatically turn it self off. what is going on??
When first spot is drawn, slide draws next one. When try to edit nods to set them precise values app erases all. It leaves blank screen.
While checking reactions,the symbols look very small to predict sign convention,please make it larger ,and the axis of reactions especially in a simple hinged portals frame it shows Rx on left and Rz on right for vertical reactions. I feel that should be Rz on both verticals. Please confirm.
Good Apps for structure engineers, I have followed with the apps for many years. It meets my expectations.
I paid to upgrade.. when i go to add square tubing it tells me to login.. it never gets past that point. Working for refund now
Too difficult for my needs. I just need something that builds a simple very basic box. LOL.
Please, I don't know why the app is telling me "calculation error: the structure is unstable" even though it was stable... Please help
I cannot choose what result to show. After I on/off a certain result and go back to the diagram, it did not change. How to solve this?
Best app for DIY or serious users. Use it all the time.
Useful app but its not available for iOS and a setting is required to change moment of inertia of beam
can't u make the Concentrated moment arrow more clear and change with the digree and direction of the moment cause it's really not clear this way
Everything is working fine except I can't change moment direction while inputting a moment
need introductory tutorial on how to use ....... that's it....... everything else is good
Very useful app Easy to use Many functions Thanks for your efforts!
the first time i leave comment for app. this app is just perfect for frame calculation!
Very good and supporting app for assignments
Doing btech structures right now and its helping alot
We can't generate reports in pdf. Do something for pdf reports.
It's really an amazing app.. I love it😘😘❤❤
How to use IS Steel table app with this app Indian Steel Sections app .... ? And for that matter other profile apps...??
Very easy to use
No clue what it does. I wanted to design a shed
As a tebnician i am sure the app can benfite me.
The app it is not working properly. I set in the right menu to see reaction which change from greyed to red and I press the arrow on top left to come back to the graphics screen where structural model and they are not visible. Again I come back to that menu and they are greyed again. I thought it was a problem with the free use of the app so I purchase it but I experience the same problem. Please. Correct this issue. Thank you
