Finite element method in deformation variant is used for deformation and statical analysis of bearing structures. Program is draft designed for solution of 3D structures and uses a object properties of C++. Core of the program is designed generally and abstract, there is possibility extend program functionality very fast by implementation of stiffness matrixes and load vectors for new elements.

Left rotated coordinate system is used:

Some basic properties:

  • System of linear algebraic equations is solved by Gauss eliminate method with possibility of  equations results iteration specification. Set of n right sides is parallel solved for linear tasks (n load cases); on the other hand each load case is solved separately for  nonlinear tasks (e.g. single-sided support by  winkler foot).
  • Structure can be in node suppored rigid or elastic, in global axis direction X, Y, Z or rotated (local) axis x, y, z (skew force and moment support).
  • User can define arbitrary node (cross-section) at element where the results will be evaluated.
  • Implemented elements:
    • 2D bar frame element with three deformation parameters in node {uX, wZ, φY}is solved in XZ plane. Evaluated force parameters in element x-cross-section {N(Fx), V(Fz), M(My)} are acquired by transfer matrix method. Shear influence is considered in element. Load vectors are derived for singular force and moment effects, distributed trapezium load and linear temperature change over the element height.
    • plate triangular and quadrilateral element with three parameters in node {wZ, φX, φY} is solved in XY plane. Evaluated force parameters in (X,Y)-node are {VXZ, VYZ, MXX, MYY, MXY (=> M1, M2, α)}. Force parameters are averaged in mesh nodes. Deformation and force parametres can be evaluated in arbitrary element place. Shear influence is considered in element. Load vectors are derived for constant distributed whole element area load, singular force and moment effects, distributed linear trapezium load and linear temperature change over the element height.
