Study of maximum and minimum load distributions along structural section is aided by visual display of load distribution data. Maximum/minimum envelope plot program plots these envelopes of the stresses and shear loads at selected points in beam modeled by series of finite elements. Digital output for engineers and management is presented for quick analysis and understanding.
Structural analysts can use computer program to study shear-flow and in-plane forces characteristic of quadrilateral panels subjected to different loading conditions. Digital outputs are presented for engineers and management, with various options to allow bulk of data to be analyzed quickly.
Computer program aids in reduction and analysis of data. It determines critical loading conditions for critical values of reactions, applied loads, deflections, stresses, internal loads, etc. Input to program must be in one of specified three-part format.
