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
