About FrameDesign
Master Structural Engineering with FrameDesign FrameDesign is a professional-grade structural analysis application designed for civil engineers, architects, and students. Built on a high-precision Finite Element Method (FEM) engine, it provides a powerful yet intuitive platform for the design and verification of 2D frames, beams, and trusses. High-Performance Analysis Anywhere Move beyond the limitations of desktop software. FrameDesign brings advanced structural engineering capabilities to your mobile device, allowing for rapid iteration and verification whether you are in the office, in the classroom, or on-site. Define geometry, apply complex loading conditions, and receive instantaneous results for internal forces, deflections, and stresses. Core Capabilities: Intuitive CAD Editor: A streamlined interface for drawing and modifying beams, nodes, and supports with professional-grade precision. Advanced Load Support: Apply point loads, moments, distributed loads, and thermal (temperature) variations. Precision FEM Engine: Accurate calculations for displacements, internal forces, and stresses. Extensive Material & Profile Library: Utilize standard steel and concrete profiles or create custom cross-sections and materials. Load Combinations: Define and manage multiple load cases and combinations according to international standards. Visual Analysis: High-resolution diagrams for Bending Moments (M), Shear Forces (V), Normal Forces (N), and Deflections. Professional Features: Support for spring stiffness, internal hinges, imposed deflections, and DXF file imports. Reporting and Export: Generate detailed PDF reports and print analysis results directly from the application. Built for Professional Productivity FrameDesign is engineered to optimize your workflow. The modern interface and optimized processing power enable engineers to perform complex checks and design iterations in seconds. It integrates directly with the Let’s Construct ecosystem, including our dedicated Steel and Concrete design tools. Trusted by Engineering Professionals From preliminary beam checks to complex frame analysis, FrameDesign is used by thousands of professionals worldwide who require reliability, speed, and accuracy in their structural design process. Disclaimer: FrameDesign is intended for preliminary reference, study, and verification purposes. All professional construction projects must be validated by a licensed structural engineer.
