LUSAS

LUSAS Bridge is a world-leading finite element analysis software application for the analysis, design and assessment of all types of bridge structures. Whether you need to carry out a straightforward linear static analysis of a single span road bridge, a dynamic analysis of a slender architectural steel movable footbridge, or a detailed geometrically nonlinear staged erection analysis of a major cable stayed structure involving concrete creep and shrinkage, LUSAS Bridge provides all the facilities you need.

Unlike some structural analysis software selected LUSAS Bridge (and LUSAS Civil & Structural) software products, when used with appropriate nonlinear, dynamic and thermal/field software options, provide a range of soils-specific and general structural engineering analysis tools to enable finite element modelling in 2D or 3D of both ground and structure in a single model. Multiple and branched analyses can be solved within each model, and state-of-the-art linear and quadratic element libraries; advanced material models; and linear and nonlinear joint models allow a range of soil-structure engineering problems to be solved.
