LUSAS Civil & Structural  / LUSAS Civil & Structural Plus Overview

LUSAS Civil & Structural is a world-leading finite element analysis software application for the analysis, design and assessment of all types of structures. 

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 illustrative uses of the software can be seen by visiting the bridge case study page.

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. 

Extensive results processing, viewing and report generation facilities give you ultimate control over what you plot and print from your analysis. In short, LUSAS Civil & Structural software handles simple frames with ease and has a full range of additional software options and features for more advanced structures.
