CASA Space Frame 3D 3.03

CASA Space Frame 3D - Structural Civil Engineering App for elastic analysis of general 3D space-frame

This version of CASA Space Frame 3D is optimized for the iPad, meaning that you can enjoy the full CASA Space Frame 3D experience on the big screen.

Structural / Civil Engineering App for elastic analysis of general 3D space-frames.CASA SF-3D allows the user to create 3D structural models and obtain both the numerical results and graphical representation of the deflections and forces. There is an emphasis on quick and precise input of high-resolution data through graphical tap-and-drag interaction, with numeric input available as an alternative. Automatic concurrent analysis ensures that up-to-date results are conveniently available after every edit. Clear graphical representations of deflections and force envelopes are interactive with slider bars which provide the reading off of numerical results at any point along the members.Benefits of this App over Space Frame L include the ability to rotate geometry and have member major axes pointing towards a third node, which allows for easier modelling of, e.g., roof purlins, cylinders, and other angled orientations.Information on how to use this App can be found both in the in-built help and also on our website.=== Technical features ===* Continuous automatic real-time analysis in response to changes.* Metric & imperial units.* Integrated extensive section library:
