LUSAS Civil & Structural /
LUSAS Civil & Structural plus
LUSAS Civil &
Structural is a world-leading finite element analysis software
application for the analysis, design and assessment of all types of
structures above and below ground.
Whether you need to
carry out a straightforward linear static analysis of a simple
structural frame, a dynamic analysis of a masonry or concrete
building, or a detailed geometrically nonlinear staged erection
analysis of a cable stayed structure, LUSAS Civil & Structural
provides all the facilities you need.
Many real-life illustrative uses of the software can be seen by visiting the civil
and structural case
study page.
Why use LUSAS Civil
& Structural?
- Benefit from the use
of cost-effective structural modelling and analysis
(including soil-structure interaction) of any structure in one
software package, and then extend your workflow into design.
- Build global and
local models that are feature-based and allow mixing of element types in
the same model.
- Carry out advanced nonlinear
geometry, material and contact modelling.
- Customise the software
to your needs using the LUSAS Programmable Interface.
- LUSAS is a
long-established and trusted provider to industry leaders, and
LUSAS Technical Support is stated, by its users, to be simply:
"The best in the business."

Some Civil and Structural
application areas
Software
products
LUSAS Civil &
Structural is available in a choice of software
levels; Civil
& Structural LT, Civil & Structural, and Civil &
Structural Plus to
suit your analysis needs. Each uses the same Windows user interface,
and has modelling wizards, comprehensive loading facilities for easy
and rapid model generation, load application and combining of loadcase
results for design checking.
-
Because all levels of the
products use the same user interface and terminology, training costs
can be minimised and users can be introduced to LUSAS at the most
appropriate level for the work they need to do.
-
There is also full
data compatibility across the product range allowing easy migration of
a model to a more advanced analysis when required without any data
conversion or remodelling.
