The source code of all examples can be downloaded here. NET compatible language and take the corresponding steps. Please notice that we could use any other. We will first create a new C# Windows Application project from Visual Studio and follow the following steps to carry out the structural analysis according the data provided. Sample beam under large compressive load analyze with 3D Frame Library (Metric units) In this example, we will call the 3D Frame Library from a Visual Studio project and carry out the structural analysis of a simple beam under uniform load and large compressive force in order to get its P-Δ effect. We will first provide the geometry, material properties and loads and afterwards call the corresponding routine in order to obtain the results.

Example 8: Beam under uniform and large axial load (P-Δ effect) using 3D Frame Analysis Library
