Key Features

LUSAS Civil & Structural is used throughout the world by engineers in the Construction Industry for all types of civil and structural design. It is available in three levels - Civil & Structural LT, Civil & Structural , and Civil & Structural Plus. 

LUSAS modelIt has a Windows User Interface, modelling wizards, comprehensive loading facilities, and Basic and Smart Combination facilities to provide for easy and rapid model generation, load application, and generation of results. 

  • It reduces the amount of time you spend on analysis
  • It gives you a better understanding of the behaviour of your structure
  • It helps you to improve and optimise your design

It is the choice for organisations wanting to standardise on a single product for all their analysis requirements

  • The Windows User Interface, modelling wizards, comprehensive material libraries and Smart Combinations provide for easy and rapid model generation, load application, and generation of results.
  • LUSAS tackles all types of structures, from simple slabs, building frames, masts, towers and tanks through to heavy civil engineering structures such as cooling towers, dams, docks and tunnels. It provides a complete solution.
  • The underlying finite element technology enables the true behaviour of structures to be accurately modelled for either global analyses of complete structures or local analyses of parts of structures such as a complex connection detail.
  • The technology actively supports and encourages innovation helping engineers rise to the ever increasing challenge of aesthetic design and unusual structures.
Use it for global analysis of all types of structures...
  • Simple / Complex Slabs
  • Building frames
  • Masts and Towers
  • Grandstands / Stadia
  • Storage Tanks / Silos
  • Space Frame Roofs
  • Cooling Towers
  • Dams, Docks and Tunnels


...and for local analysis too

  • Plate girder buckling
  • U-Frame action
  • Local analysis of welds
  • Solid modelling of box diaphragms
  • Ultimate load analysis
  • Fatigue analysis of structural components
