Beam structural analysis

Software for efficient modelling and structural analysis of 3D beam structures

The 3D Beam software tool is used for efficient modelling and analysis of 3D beam structures. It can be used as a stand-alone program or as an integrated part of Nauticus Hull, and is an ideal tool for first assessment of structural design.

Nauticus Hull - 3D Beam software

Intuitive and user-friendly interface allows you to reduce modelling time, even for complex models
Flexible visualization of parts or the full model in any number of independent views
Easy generation, combination and visualization of loads, due to hydrostatic pressure, inertia, wind, snow, temperature etc
Large library of cross section profile types, including standard Nauticus profiles
Display of force and moment diagrams directly on the model together with colour plots of stress distributions and deformations

Key benefits for 3D beam structural analysis

Named collections of beams and nodes for convenient switching between selections
Display of the model in wire mode with rigid ends and hinges, and optional display of boundary conditions, cross sections, and local axes, or a solid view of the model
Use of discontinuous beam properties, e.g. for modelling of wires
Input and results in sortable tables for easy result evaluation and generation of reports with flexible reporting tool
Geometries may be generated in MS Excel and pasted into the 3D Beam software
User-specified cross sections can be exported for re-use in other models
