This software computes 3D strut-and-tie models that structural engineers use to analyze structural systems.
Unlike other programs, Fachwerk3D only relies on equilibrium conditions so it doesn't assume elastic behavior. This makes it an excellent tool for engineers who require accurate models for structural analysis purposes.
Fachwerk3D is the spatial version of the popular software program "Fachwerk" and is an excellent tool for structural engineers looking to simplify the application of discontinuous stress fields and strut-and-tie models.
The software program calculates strut-and-tie models (truss models) with ease and is ideal for calculating the forces of members that are determinate anyway. This is particularly useful for statically indeterminate systems where the program can assign forces to the remaining members.
If you assign more forces to your members than are necessary, the program will indicate that the system is inconsistent (except equilibrium is fulfilled anyway). Overall, Fachwerk3D is a valuable tool for structural engineers looking for a reliable and accurate program for designing reinforced concrete structures.
