FStr v1.4.0

Version 1.4.0 ;) !!

• New away of inserting the longitudinal lengths, in linear and log formats, in an easy and intuitive way;

• Log scale option in the vertical axis for the signature curve (very useful for viewing high and low load factors);

• New parametric sections: I-shape, Wide Flange, and T-shape sections;

• Verified and validated the cases of orthotropic materials. It includes transversal elastic modulus (Et), longitudinal elastic modulus (El), minor Poisson ratio (vtl), major Poisson ratio (vlt) and shear modulus (Glt), necessary to put in this order. In case of isotropic material, the Glt parameter is optional to insert.

• New variable for the Polygonal Hollow Section, called alfa, for rotating the polygonal cross section;

• New opening of the program, with a cleaner and minimalist logo;

• New box for remembering the user that the analysis is ready;

• Data from the parametric cross-sections is inserted in a more organized way;

• Bug fixing when the FStr window is maximized during its initialization.

Have a good time doing an Elastic Buckling Analysis with FStr!

Obs.: The FStr is quite a low size program, however, it needs the MATLAB Runtime Engine to make it an executable program, which makes the installer a heavy file.

FStr v1.3.0

New Version 1.3.0!

• Geometry properties and model description inserted in a new window;
• New parametric geometry generation for Polygonal Hollow Section;
• Term "Circular Hollow Section" corrected to "Polygonal Hollow Section";
• Minor bugs fixed.

Have fun with Elastic Buckling Analysis!

FStr v1.2.0

Version 1.2.0! What is new?

• New Geometry generation: C, LC, Zed, Hat, Rack, L, Wall, Rectangular and Circular Hollow Section;
• Polar coordinates geometry generation;
• Setting properties for 3D plot, including: type of line, type of the color plot, transparency and number of longitudinal cross section;
• Fixed the calculation of the cross-section properties for open sections;
• Minor bugs fixed;
