TrussTables

2D Truss solver.

TrussTables performs linear static analysis of 2D truss structures, via the direct stiffness method. The application is written in C++, using the popular Qt framework.

TrussTables features:

• Truss model input (editing, exporting, and saving)
• Model checking and validation
• Loads input
• Model analysis options
• Model analysis
• Results view and export

Model analysis may include the following options:

• Joint/nodal loads
• predescribed joint displacements
• Thermal loads
• Fabrication error loads
• Influence lines

Installing

Binaries are provided for Linux (AppImage) and Windows, see releases.

Note: Linux AppImage executables are built on, tested and target, Linux mint 18.2 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Simply download and;

chmod a+x TrussTables.AppImage
./ TrussTables.AppImage

Optionally, for desktop integration;

./ TrussTables.AppImage install
