ISYMOST - Interactive SYstem for MOdeling of STructures

ISYMOST is designed to help engineers managing the analysis of structures. It offers modeling, pre- and post-processing for various calculations programs. ISYMOST can handle simple or very complex models thanks to its data management system.
Recent developments have improved dramatically the interface, making ISYMOST learning curves even shorter. The new interface combined to its long-known powerful macro-programming capabilities makes ISYMOST easy-to-use yet productive software

Modeling

The user interface includes a model browser and 3D view window allowing very efficient model set-up and easy verifications
Advanced display options available from toolbar: numerous lighting options, meshing edges, profiles shape, eccentricities, releases, etc…
Project-oriented model files including all data and parameters required to run several analyses from the same file
Automated mesh of complex lofted surfaces
Tools to generate tubular intersections, code check parameters, boundary conditions, etc…
Management of sub-models for local verifications
Management of hydro-structure coupling for static and dynamic analyses

Verification of models

Pre-defined mesh checks (superposed nodes, twisted elements, alignment of beams, crossed beams
Export to PDMS and DXF formats for sharing with draught-persons
Automatic verification of consistency of models prior to calculation
Display of calculation data (buckling length, unsupported length, density
Verification of MTO, load case resultants

Post-processing

Display of joint displacements, forces or stresses in elements, code check usage factors
Display of deformation, modal shapes
Envelope of any variable for sets of load cases
Macro-programming for specialized post-process
