Static & Dynamic Time History Analysis

Easy, full GUI, pre and post proccessing, all in the same environment

2D Frame Analysis is a powerfull application which uses optimized finite elements (beam elements) in order to perform static and dynamic analysis of beams, frames and trusses. Its versatile interface as well as its easy customization make it a leader-product in frame analysis. Try it and start saving time and money!

We challenge you to try out this frame analysis program, as there are other analysis programs out there, but you will convince yourself that Engissol Frame 2D is unique because of its features and the ease in using it.
