An example of numerical modeling of a 2D frame structure using the finite element method in Dystlab TechEditor. Creating geometry, setting boundary conditions, applying loads, and calculating internal forces / moments and displacements in the project is performed using a scripted approach.

Summary

  • Software: Dystlab TechEditor 4+
  • Format: TEC file with full script code and explanations
  • Language: English
  • User level: Intermediate / Advanced
  • Analysis: Linear statics by finite element method (FEM)

About model

The example contains a flat model of a two-bay frame structure with vertical columns and horizontal beams.

Material parameters and cross-sectional characteristics are specified for all frame elements. The calculation takes into account the constant loads on the girder and the wind load on the column. The boundary conditions assume rigid fixation of the columns and hinged support at the end node. The model solves a linear static problem using beam finite elements. The calculation results include bending moments, shear forces, and displacements of the structure.

Solution benefits

  • Demonstration of using TechEditor as a FEM tool
  • Fully editable code - easy to adapt to your own tasks
  • Compact script structure with comments for quick learning
  • Suitable as a training case or template for engineering design

Document features

This document can be opened and edited in the TechEditor software. To work with these materials, first install the TechEditor environment on your computer.

Automatic calculations and units of measurement

All calculations are performed automatically, with double machine accuracy and support for units of measurement.

If the auto-calculation option is enabled (this is the default setting of TechEditor), then changing any parameter leads to a recalculation of the document. If the option is disabled, use the F5 key.

You can use any unit of measurement for physical quantities. TechEditor performs all intermediate calculations and unit conversions automatically, in the International System of Units.

Fully editable

You can edit any part of this document to suit your needs. You can also select and copy the desired part of this document to your project.
