Stability issues 

  • No more estimating buckling lengths, stiffness of connections or the effects of local section inconsistencies 
  • Accurately analyze stressed columns as well as roof girders, heavy industrial structure members and lightweight bridge segments 
  • Ideal for both standard and non-standard cases

Cold-form sections

  • Analyze thin-walled sections for roof purlins or floor beams, girts or beams for facade construction 
  • Perform member analysis of thin-walled sections, offering you full graphical control of the behavior of element and stability checks influenced by imperfections through advanced GMNIA

Frames and subframes 

  • Cost-effectively design hall structures, including stability analysis of individual frames or subframes 
  • Calculate the spatial stiffness and stability of the entire structure in your current FEA software, and perform the rest of the stability analysis in Member for selected subframes 
  • Analyze the influence of frame corner stiffness on roof beam stability, the stability of bracing system columns or roof purlins 

Strengthening structures

  • Cover any changes in loading or structural details in existing structures 
  • Go beyond conventional procedures that do not provide you with sufficiently accurate results 
  • Eliminate the need for simplifications and estimates 
  • Gain complete confidence in your design solution using advanced nonlinear analysis
