Models can incorporate solids, shells, membranes, space frames, pin-jointed trusses and anisotropic materials including laminated composites. Pressures, point forces, thermal expansion, gravity, centrifugal force and fixed displacements can be applied. Nodes can be constrained on inclined planes and coupled to define rigid connections. Cyclic and linear periodic symmetry can easily be exploited to simplify repetitive structures. Various stresses are computed to predict failure locations and safety factors.
