Truss Design

Three-dimensional truss and frame modelling, analysis and scoped steel member checks.

Overview

Truss Design connects structural modelling, loads, frame analysis, result diagrams and steel H-member verification in one workspace. It uses a browser frame solver by default, with an optional OpenSees path, and provides KDS/AISC checks within the documented H-section scope. This is ongoing internal development for automating the company's design workflow; the product is not publicly released, and the linked application is a demo.

Technical capabilities

A structural model needs a traceable path from geometry and loads to member forces and the checks that apply to its sections.

Technical scope

Model three-dimensional nodes, members, restraints, steel properties and applied loads.
Run linear frame analysis with the browser solver or an explicitly selected OpenSees backend.
Review deformed shapes, reactions and member-force diagrams on the model.
Inspect KDS 2024 or AISC steel H-member checks within the implemented section and design-method scope.

Contribution

Bring structural modelling, analysis results and member verification into one engineering workflow.
Present diagrams and check utilization alongside the three-dimensional model.
Keep solver selection and design results tied to the current model and load cases.
