Live structural examples

Move a slider and the Stabileo engine solves the model again in your browser. Each example names the check that verifies it and keeps its settings in a link you can share; the frame models also open in the editor.

• Beam and frame playground

  Supports, span and loads on a steel beam or portal frame, with live bending moment, shear and deflection.

• Slab on columns

  A flat concrete slab on a column grid, meshed in MITC4 shell elements, with its live deflection field.

• Earthquake frame time history

  A reinforced concrete frame shaken at its base, integrated step by step with Newmark’s average acceleration method.

• Reinforced concrete column

  A tied rectangular column: its section and ties drawn to scale, its CIRSOC 201 interaction diagram and the check of a load.

• Outrigger sweep on a tall core

  A concrete core with one outrigger to two perimeter columns: move the outrigger and watch the top drift, against the closed form, over the whole height.

• Steel tower: modes and buckling

  A tubular steel cantilever with an optional mass at the top: its first three bending modes and its buckling load, each beside the exact solution.
