Nonlinear Static with Geometric and Material Nonlinearity

Intel LAPACK Solver: Used for small-to-medium sized models and for checking instability, optimized for Intel CPUs.

Intel Parallel Sparse Solver: An advanced sparse solver by Intel which takes advantage of multi-core/multi-CPU computers and is designed for large models.

Joint loads in global or user-coordinate-system directions.

Beam Loads: point, trapezoidal, uniform, partial, and distributed, in local, global, and projected directions.

Point and uniform loads on plate/shell and brick elements

Automatic self-weight for all elements.

Thermal loading for all elements.

Pre-stressing for cable, truss, and beam.

Post-tensioning cable elements with option to lock the cable tension.

User coordinate systems can be rectangular, cylindrical, spherical.

Displacement coordinate systems for joints using user coordinate systems.

Supports, springs, and loads specified in global or user coordinate systems.

Member rigid end zones, semi-rigid connections, end-offsets.

Slaved degrees of freedom

Nonprismatic tapered sections.

Member reference axis and centroid offsets allow nonprismatic sections to be placed in a model easily.
