Specilalized Techniques for Common Problems

  • Non-coincident beams can be used to model reinforced concrete. The location of the beams need not coincide with the concrete elements making the problem set-up significantly easier and more realistic.
  • Natural fragmentation models the failure of symmetric objects by including minor variation in the yield strength of each element.
  • Fragmentation plots help visualize how a part will fragment when elements have failed.
  • A wizard can be employed to build a brick or cinder-block wall with minimal input.
