ANYstructure - ANYstructure 1.1 windows installer

ANYstructure 1.1 download

What's new in 1.1

  • Nothing new, just bugfix. Predefined stiffener example file was empty.
  • Smaller install file

What's new in 1.0

  • Time to realize that ANYstructure is stable! This is the first non-beta version.
  • New GUI colors.
  • Can now use delete button for lines and points.
  • Updated documentation.

What's new in 0.7.0

  • You can now export point, lines, beam sections to SESAM GeniE! Beams will also be created with the corresponding section properties.
  • Beam section are now recorded and can be accessed in a drop down menu.

What's new in 0.6.5

  • Minor update. Included span vs. weight comparison graph.

What's new in 0.6.4

  • ANYinsight! No more black box results. Now both visualize and print results for all panels in optimization.
  • Span optimization furhter corrected. Iterating with predefined stiffeners gives lower running times.
  • Weight filter can be turned on and off.
  • Control of frame/girder weight calculation in optimization modules.
  • Lots of bug-fixing.
  • Control number of CPUs to be used in calculations.

What's new in 0.5.6

  • Correction in buckling calculations.
  • Span optimization saving and result presenting improvements.

What's new in 0.5.3

  • Span optimization now works better.
  • You can now provide a list of stiffeners (L/T/FB) to iterate over when optimizing.
  • Number of processors to use can now be specified.
  • You can now deselect checking toward local buckling of stiffeners.
  • Some bugs fixed.

GUI based steel structure calculation tool.

The following is calculated:

  • Minimum plate thickness (DNVGL-OS-C101)
  • Minimum section modulus of stiffener/plate (DNVGL-OS-C101)
  • Minimum shear area (DNVGL-OS-C101)
  • Buckling (DNVGL-RP-C201)
  • Fatigue for plate/stiffener connection (DNVGL-RP-C203)

Compartments (tank pressures) are created automatically.

Pressures on external hull (or any other generic location) is defined by specifying equations.

You can optimize single plate/stiffener field or multiple.

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE.
For windows executable (.exe) version for non-coders, use the link below.
Note that I am looking for contributions. Non-coders can verify, make documentation, suggest improvements etc. Point
is: please do more than just use the tool and stay silent :)
