ATLANTIC v2.0 is a 16 bit DOS
Extender Structural Engineering tool for static analysis and design
of steel framed 3D structures. It is user friendly and uses a
completely visual approach for model generation and results
presentation. No limits in node or beam number. Structures of
many hundred of nodes can be solved quite easily.
Each element of structural model (nodes, beams,
materials, restraints, releases) is generated in a graphic and
interactive way, with an
immediate visual control on the data validity. Each result
( stresses, displacements, support reactions) can be shown
on the screen. The user can print high resolution screen shots as well
as results in a tabular form.
The program performs also the verification of steel structures
according to AISC-ASD Code.
It is composed by 3 modules: Pre-Processor, Solver and
Post-Processor.
System Requirements
DOS 5.0 or above. The program also runs (even better) in a Windows
3.1x/95/98/NT or OS/2 window.
Visual
creation of structural models: interactive generation of nodes (single,
linear, circular and normal to a plane), beams (single, linear, divide,
intersect) , restraints, releases and materials. Structure generation
by extrusion, mirror, rotation, nodes and
beams drag. Nodal concentrated loads and nodal settlements,
trapezoidal beam loads, thermal loads. Edit of en entire loading. Fixed
or elastic restraints. 3D or wire-frame representation. Merge of
different structures. Internal database for structural shapes.
Solver
Performs system resolution for
static analysis.
Post-Processor
All output results
are shown on the screen and/or
printed: moment, shear and axial load
diagrams, displaced structure,
support reactions in vector form.
Diagrams for loading, combinations,
enveloped combinations. Maximum and
minimum for stresses, displacements,
reactions. Selection of part of a
structure.
S-beam for check of several beams as a
unique beam.
Verifications according to AISC-ASD
code.
