Analysis3D is a finite element analysis (FEA) software tailored for structural and civil engineering applications focused on steel constructions, such as trusses and frames. The tool is designed to facilitate the analysis and design process for engineers working with steel structures, offering a user-friendly interface on the Windows platform.
A notable feature of Analysis3D is its extensive library of cross sections, which includes standards from multiple countries, such as the US AISC, UK British Steel, Japan JIS, Eurocode, Australia and New Zealand, China GB, Russia GOST, India BIS, and Timber. Users can also expand or modify this library to suit specific project requirements. The software enables calculation and incorporation of wind, snow, and seismic loads, supporting standards like Eurocode and ASCE 7-16, allowing engineers to assess structural responses under varied loading conditions.
Analysis3D supports nonlinear and second-order calculations, considering the effects of deformation and incrementally evaluating the total impact on the structure. This is particularly useful for analyzing complex structures that may undergo significant deformation. The software also offers structural steel design and optimization capabilities, validating the strength of each member according to standards such as AISC-ASD, AISC-LRFD, BS5950, CISC94, and EuroCode 3, and recommending the minimal cross section needed to withstand applied loads. Visualization tools within the software display member forces, stresses, and displacements, with automatic highlighting of members that fail strength requirements.
Integration with existing design workflows is facilitated through import and export functionality for DXF files, supporting interoperability with AutoCAD and other 3D graphics software. Analysis3D is distributed as a free download, and it provides users with examples, help files, and a comprehensive user manual to assist with onboarding and usage. The software is developed by Cuylaerts Engineering.
In the Design & Creative space, Analysis3D takes a focused approach. It focuses on performing finite element analysis and structural design of steel constructions without expensive commercial software. Analysis3D is a consumer product aimed at structural engineers. The product is available for free. It runs on the web and Windows.
Across PulseGate's embedding index, Analysis3D has few near neighbours, marking it as relatively distinct. Among its 9 catalogued features are finite element analysis, cross-section library, and international standards support.
