Introduction

You can use the FE program for plates, which is based on graphics. to calculate and design reinforced concrete floors and slabs with beams. You can define complex support conditions and loads.
For calculations without design, you can also use any homogeneous or anisotropic material.

The implemented network generator is based on the ”advancing front method". This way, you can quickly and easily generate meshes of two-dimensional areas of any shape. You can create triangular and four sided meshes as well as combinations of these two types.

The program uses matrices based on hybrid formulations to calculate elements. The major advantage of hybrid elements is that they are very precise in conjunction with thin plates. Consequently, shear forces are also calculated accurately.
For 'thick' plates the analysis can also be based on Kirchhoff-Mindlin.

For reinforcement, the method developed by Baumann is used. A cracked plate element serves as the model.

Note: You can define uniaxial statical structures for precast slabs, prestressed hollow core elements etc.
