ANALYSIS software - is designed to solve most of Structural and Civil Engineering designs by implementing the Finite Element Analysis Method. It determines the internal axial forces, transverse shears and bending moments of elastic structures, and designs reinforced concrete and double skin composite elements. Finite Element Analysis is a powerful and versatile tool, which enables structures to be analyzed with precision and cost-effectiveness to obtain solutions for complex engineering problems. The purpose of this study is to present and provide access to Finite Element Analysis, and to introduce the software that implements the Finite Element formulations, in order to analyze with precision and speed a wide variety of structural problems and predict the nodal internal forces and displacements of elastic structures that are idealized as an assemblage of discrete beam-column elements supported by self-equilibrating external forces and pressures. The formulation incorporates elastic sub-grade foundation elements of foundation structures, deformations due to bending, shear and axial forces, the non-linear influence of axial forces on bending and equivalent nodal force vectors corresponding to trapezoidal loading, uniformly distributed loading and linear thermal gradients across elements. The program output conforms to the requirements of Eurocode, and ACI Standards. It determines the nodal internal forces, bending moments and displacements, and offers the following solutions:

1 – Design of shear connectors for double skin composite elements DSC to resist compression plate buckling, interface shearing forces and to act as transverse shear reinforcement.

2 – Determination of ultimate moment of resistance of DSC sections subject to bending and axial forces.

3 – Design for shear reinforcement of re-enforced concrete RC beam-column elements.

4 – Determination of ultimate moment resistance of reinforced concrete RC sections subject to bending and axial forces.

5 – Display and or print relevant literature, axes, input data forms, and sections' details.

ANALYSIS software is a unique users’ friendly program that has outstanding presentation features and includes all the capabilities of the previous two programs among its numerous other capabilities. These computer programs were the result of colossal efforts and intensive research. They apply high technology and original solutions to the most difficult structural engineering problems that were not hitherto available.
