Technical Features

Current Implemented Elements in BFE are:

• 2 Noded Truss Element
• 2 Noded Frame Element (combination of Beam + Truss + Torsion)
• 2 Noded Linear spring element
• 3 Noded Plate bending and Membrane element
• 4 Noded 3D solid element (Tetrahedron)
• A new RigidElement (aka undeformable element)

Loads:

• Uniform constant line load for frame and truss element
• Uniform constant surface load for plate and membrane
• Uniform constant body load for Tetrahedron element
• Concentrated Nodal Loads

Features:

• Static and linear analysis (nonlinear analysis is not implemented yet)
• Support load case and load combination for analysis
• Partial end release for frame element (simply supported beam)
• 6 DoF per node
• Considering initial displacements (settlements)
• Full or partial restrains supported (inclined or skewed supports not supported)
• Available for .NET 3.5 Client Profile and higher
• Not guaranteed to be thread safe
• Model can be stored and recovered from files and streams
• Checking model for errors before analyse
• XML Documentation of library

TODO list:

• Creation of damp matrix
• Modal Analysis (with eigen values)
• Linear time history analysis
• Making all public classes CLS Compliant
• Supporting Non .NET cpu and gpu equation solver systems (like Intel MKL, CUSparse etc)
• Add MATLab interface
