• 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 Civil & Structural 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)*

• 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)*
• use of fast solvers*

* when used with the appropriate software option(s)

Model and results files created by a lower product (such as Civil & Structural LT) can be viewed and edited by a higher product version (such as Civil & Structural). 

Model and results files created in a higher product 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 product.

LUSAS model and results data can only be read in a particular software release version when it was written by a version with the same or lower 'major' version (such as V13 or V14), and also the same or lower 'point' release version (such as V14.5 or V14.6).
