Specific elements (representation telegraphic or "made realistic" with visualization of structures modelled by slim or Visualization for Finite elements (included in ICAB Force) Graphic inspection and checking Operations with translation, rotation, screw, symmetries related automatic operations of fusion-welding between nouds close or adjacent beams. Noud, a beam) for the definition of the co-ordinates of the nouds. (Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical) or reference marks relative (with a uses of unspecified local reference marks choice of the bill of character (Windows TrueType, printer, plotter.) automatic quotation (the modification of the geometry generates new quotations immediately) You can manage parts of the structure according to layers' (similar to the "layers" AutoCAD). You can move, zoomer, make turn to visualize a detail or the whole of construction. You control in real time the structural design. All the modifications are immediately presented on screen. You avoid the tiresome data capture and remove the risks of Rectangular tubes, the rolled sections I, H, T, U, symmetrical andĭissymmetrical PRS, L, Z for which you simply Properties of sections which also makes it possible to use circular or The properties can be directly extractedįrom a library which is supplemented with a utility to calculate The physical properties with data entry forms. you define the characteristics of materials and You create, modify or select the nodes, the elements and the loadings by simple a clic with the mouse. elements, namely beams, bars elastic or rigid, elastic springs, supports, masses,Ĭonditions as restrained displacements and loadings, ICAB Force enables you to graphically design constructions. The graphic Generation of Constructions (included in ICAB Force) Straightfoward design With the version Education, the user familiarizes himself with calculations of resistance of materials and the finite element method. With the version Evolution, the user can choose an intermediate version (typically 2000 entities). The Initiation version is suited model of up to 150 entities (an entity corresponds to a node, an element)

#ICAB REGISTRED PROFESSIONAL#
In professional version, ICAB Force makes it price by type of section, profiled or element,Ī fixed and variable cost (proportional to the length) is allocated to each element. Resulting efforts: compression or tensile force, shear, bending moment, Displacements in translation and rotation, setting of relations between degrees of freedom (MPC, Multi Point Constraint). Rigid bars, pin-jointed bars, rigid bodies, Rigidity generalized between two degrees of freedom. Silentbloc (elastic support) with stiffnesses of translation and rotation, elastoc rod, cable (beam or bars elastic with an acceptable threshold of compression), Of Timoshenko) with constant or variable section, offsetting of neutral slender beam (theory of Kirchhoff) or short beam (theory Multiple loading which makes it possible to study several requests on the same structure. Pressure is calculated according to the height, Thermal dilations for an ambient temperature constant on the structure or imposed node by node,įor the pipes (hollow tubes circular CHS) pressure interns with theīasic effect and of the weight of the fluid of filling. Prestressing forces in tension and moments, Gravitational field, centrifugal forces created by a rotational Displacement imposed in translation or rotation, The user (uniform or trapezoidal distribution), On the surfaces of the structure or parallel with directions fixed by These AFNOR tests are providedas examples.
#ICAB REGISTRED SOFTWARE#
ICAB Force was testedĪccording to the "Guide of validation of the software packages of The elastic connections, the rigid bodies. Structure including/understanding of the formed parts of beams, bars, ICAB Force allows the static analysis of any three-dimensional
