This is an MSDOS product. It will also run under Windows in a DOS window [click here for MSDOS NOTES].

STRUSAP was prepared by engineers for engineers. Even the most intricate models can be easily designed and analyzed using STRUSAP. In addition, the masterful color graphics and three-dimensional static, dynamic, and seismic analyses give your PC large-system capabilities and mainframe performance.

STRUSAP uses a free-format, natural engineering language to make model development fast and easy. The commands are simple and appear logical to the user after running the software for only a few hours. The comprehensive user's manual (200 pages) provides a detailed step-by-step tutorial while serving as a reference document for the more advanced user.

STRUSAP and the STRUSAP language make you productive quickly, but not at the expense of program capability. Also, the program diagnostics help you debug your model quickly. The nature and location of any error is given in great detail, usually before finite element execution begins. Even modeling logic errors can be detected by STRUSAP diagnostics.

STRUSAP provides solutions to an innumerable variety of design problems ranging from simple multistep shafts, piping, and pressure vessels, to propeller blades and roof trusses. Even complex structures such as turbine jet engines and modern office buildings can be analyzed quickly using static, dynamic, and response spectra analysis methods.

The fully integrated nature of STRUSAP makes the transition between static and dynamic analyses simple; usually a single line modification in the model will accomplish the change.

STRUSAP can analyze mechanical and structural systems composed of (in any combination):

O Beams

O Shells (triangular, rectangular)

O Springs

O Equivalent masses

O Rotational inertias

O Forces, moments, gravity, pressure, thermal stress

The STRUSAP modeling system provides a rich and powerful variety (for example):

O 3-D Beams: Thermal and gravitational loads; moments/- forces and beam stresses calculated.

O 3-D Shells: Pressure, temperature, gravity, and thermal gradient loads; membrane and bending stresses calculated.

O Springs: Displacement and force calculated.

STRUSAP features include:

O Natural modeling language.

O Metric and English units.

O 3-D color graphics with Virtual Device Interface.

O Bandwidth minimization.

O Dynamic, static, response spectra analyses.

O Cartesian/cylindrical coordinates.

O Triangular and quadrilateral shell elements.

O Automatic joint/member generation.

STRUSAP's high-resolution, three-dimensional color graphics assure correct geometry for your model. Models can be viewed from any angle and enlarged by using dynamic zoom. Individual element colors and joint numbers make it easy to identify model components. Since the STRUSAP graphics language is free- format and natural, models can be plotted with as few as three commands.

STRUSAP uses a Virtual Design Interface which works with most IBM-compatible graphics cards, screens, and printers. Support is also provided for many Hewlett-Packard HP-GL plotters to produce presentation-quality drawings.

Following the mathematical analysis, you can plot all translation/deflection information. STRUSAP supports full color renditions of the deformed model and will generate exaggerated views for easy deformation/mode shape identification.

STRUSAP provides a complete paper trail for every model you run. The original model geometry and properties are stored on disk along with any translation, rotation, frequency, or stress information. All results can be printed or previewed using the editor. Naturally, full model editing is also available.

The DESIGNER version can handle 200 joints and 650 elements.

The STRUSAP package includes a manual, examples.

Requires 640K RAM (MSDOS 3.x), 2MB RAM (MSDOS 4.x and higher), a hard disk, graphics capability, and a math coprocessor (or 586 or higher CPU).

Compatible with HP7470, 7475, and other HPGL plotters, as well as IBM, HP, Epson, or compatible printers.
