program to simulate rods and knots (beam)

[gerod]

I have to make several calculations of even complex frames and therefore I cannot use neither ansys ds nor simwise.
I could extend the ansys license to the pro version but I'm drawn with the costs.
At this point I ask you which program does this kind of work and obviously it is not too expensive.
in practice are frames made of tubes and profiles.
Thank you.
Hi.

I've never used it personally, but I've known engineers who told me very well.
the price is competitive and suitable for you:http://www.cadreanalytic.com/products.htmwave

I used cadre pro some time ago and it works well for beam calculations, I also recommend the profiler module.
other software that I can recommend for beam modeling is straus7.
if you are interested in above all structures like sheds you can also see lusas lt or travilog steel module for certifications ntc/ec3.
I have no idea the prices.

I need them to calculate frames of lifting accessories.
It's obvious that if I happen to make a building like a shed, I'd use it.
Thank you.

we are addressed to strauss7.
price compared to ansys is competitive.
so I am with two programs that do different things and they complete.
Thank you.
