Fachwerk3D
Fachwerk3D calculates three-dimensional strut-and-tie models used by structural engineers for analysing and designing reinforced concrete structures. The program only uses the equilibrium conditions, thus it is not assuming elastic behaviour.

Recent releases
- 01 Jun 2009 14:14
Changes: This release improves usability on netbooks. It adds more key accelerators. (Shift-/Ctrl-) Arrow keys move or turn the model view.
- 02 Dec 2007 15:05
Changes: The status field shows the statical indeterminacy. This release fixes a bug with sliding bearings.
- 13 Sep 2007 14:21
Changes: Upon request, the program proposes member forces if the system is statically indeterminate. The calculation is linear-elastic and assumes a fixed ratio compression to tension stiffness. The algorithm works even if the system is unstable. The user still has to judge if the proposed member forces are reasonable for the given case. This release adds an algorithm that moves a node along a straight line until a required member force is achieved.
- 01 Oct 2006 12:51
Changes: This release adds support for mouse wheel zooming. Force arrows are labelled.
- 04 Aug 2006 10:09
Changes: This release adds a mechanism check algorithm. It is based on the theory of plasticity's upper bound (kinematic). Mechanisms are shown graphically, so finding missing members of an incomplete strut-and-tie model is simplified.
