S-FRAME Introduction

Course Outline:

The S-FRAME Introduction training course is aimed at new users of S-FRAME, or experienced users looking to sharpen their skills.  This introductory class explains how to become productive using the S-FRAME Analysis modeling environment.  Over the course of 2 lectures, attendees will be guided through how to navigate the interface of S-FRAME, build simple models, and perform Linear Static Analysis.  This course will serve as good launching pad for further S-FRAME training on more advanced topics, and is the fastest way to get to a point where they are comfortable working with the software.

Prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of Structural Analysis, and Structural Engineering
  • Altair S-FRAME software downloaded and installed.
  • S-FRAME license configured to run analysis and verification tools.
