• linear static analysis

For all types of general analysis with beam, shell, solid and joint elements. Includes all of the elements, material models, modelling, analysis and results processing capabilities of LUSAS Bridge LT, permitting:

• linear static analysis

• linear buckling

• natural frequency analysis

• linear dynamics including forced response

• interactive modal dynamics (IMD)

• fatigue analysis

• advanced IMD analysis (IMD Plus)*

• vehicle load optimisation*

• use of fast solvers*

* when used with the appropriate software option(s)

• nonlinear analysis*
• dynamic analysis*
• thermal / field analysis*
• heat of hydration analysis*
• advanced IMD analysis (IMD Plus)*
• rail track analysis*
• vehicle load optimisation*
• use of fast solvers*

* when used with the appropriate software option(s)

• composites analysis**

** when used with the appropriate product option

Model and results files created by a lower product version can be viewed and edited by a higher product version. Model and results files created in a higher product version can be opened for viewing or editing in a lower product version provided the model contains only those elements and analysis options supported by the lower version.
