Design or check aluminum members for axial loads, biaxial bending and deflections. Supported shapes include wide flanges, tubes, angles, channels, Tees, and pipes.
Digital Canal's Aluminum Design is one of the very few programs that can
design aluminum structural members. While aluminum may not be the material of choice for every day
structural designs, it an excellent choice in corrosive or decorative
applications.

Key program features include:
-
Design structural aluminum members subject to axial loads and/or
biaxial moments.
-
Calculations are performed in accordance with AA-86.
-
Supported shapes include I-beams, channels, angles, pipes and
tubes.
-
Check a specific size (Check Mode) or have the program optimize
the size (Design Mode).
-
Deflection design and dimension control.
-
Members can be made of 6061-T6, 6063-T5 or 6005-T5 alloys.
-
User-defined tension area reduction ratio.
-
Automatic allowable stress for welded sections.
|
-
Load inputs include concentrated and linear loads in all three
directions (axial, weak axis, strong axis) as well as end
moments about both axes.
-
Digital Canal's Aluminum Design can be bought separately- you
don't need to buy a structural system or engineering library
to design a aluminum beam or column.
-
Reports are in Microsoft Word format (RTF) giving you unequalled
compatibility with other software.
-
Flexible unit controls allow for US or metric designs.
-
Dynamic graphic window illustrates inputs as they are entered.
