What is Frame Solver?
Frame Solver is an online calculator specialized in structural analysis of plane frames and portal
structures.
It uses matrix methods to solve statically indeterminate structures, calculating reactions, bending
moments,
shear forces and displacements. Perfect for engineers, students and structural professionals.
Supported Structure Types
Analyze single or multi-story portal frames, simple frames, portal structures and complex
configurations
with beams and columns. Supports different support types: fixed, pinned and simple supports.
Ideal for buildings, industrial structures and civil engineering applications.
Loads and Actions
Apply point loads at nodes and elements, distributed loads on beams, and concentrated moments.
Combine different load types to simulate real conditions: dead loads, live loads,
wind loads and simplified seismic actions.
Detailed Results
Get reactions at all supports, bending moment and shear diagrams, nodal displacements
and rotations. Results include precise numerical values and clear graphical representations.
Information ready for calculation reports and structural verifications.
For Engineering Students
Essential educational tool for structural analysis, concrete and steel design courses.
Visualize concepts of stiffness, equilibrium and deformability. Perfect for verifying
matrix analysis exercises and understanding behavior of framed structures.
For Professionals
Quick validation of preliminary sizing and preliminary analysis. Useful in conceptual stages where
different structural configurations are evaluated. Complements specialized software providing
independent verifications and sensitivity analysis.
