Extreme Loading® for Structures Software
ASI’s Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS) software is the ideal fully nonlinear structural analysis tool to study the behavior of steel, reinforced concrete, and masonry structures against corrosion, seismic, wind, progressive collapse, and blast. ELS will allow users to easily perform static or dynamic analysis with full nonlinear material and geometric behavior from the elastic to plastic stages including cracking, buckling, post-buckling, P-Delta effects, contact, complete element separation, collision, and effects of falling debris. All are automatically accounted for by the solver.
ELS delivers high-end structural analysis found only in “scientific” software tools in an efficient engineer-friendly package by eliminating the need for transition elements, smearing reinforcement, manual placement of plastic hinges, and other time consuming processes and assumptions associated with FEM software of the past. This results in a more detailed analysis and more accurate results in an economical timeframe.
ELS is licensed as a complete package including the modeler, solver and post-processing viewer. Desktop, Network, and Cloud licensing options are available depending on your market.
