In spite of selecting Metric units for member section properties at the beginning of a new model (considering Indian codes), while checking the member sections during modelling and analysis, the member properties are getting displayed in FPS units...

automated tool for hydrostatic loading should be included

It will be helpful if a function for applying the hydrostatic forces on plate elements either by selecting a group of plates or a selecting a single plate e.g., the PlateID and the pressure at four corners of the plate. Many a times applying the p...

Hello i would like to give a suggestion when modelling a structure and create a mesh using parametric model after generating mesh we know the beams are broken into parts depending on the mesh size, if one decides to delete the mesh, then the disin...
