F.A.Q.

  • I downloaded a zip file. How do I install the software?

    All our programs are downloaded as zip files (.zip). The zip file contains the setup (installation) files needed to install the program on the computer. You need first to unzip the zip file to a local folder on your computer. Then, after the zip file has been unzipped, you need to run (double-click) the file "setup.exe" on Windows and follow the on-screen instructions.

  • In EngiLab Frame.2D I have defined an Element on the screen. How can I apply a point load within the Element?

    Note that in EngiLab Frame.2D, all point loads (forces) have to be defined as Nodal Loads. This means that a Node has to be defined first, wherever there is a point load. A load cannot be added directly at a location within an Element. If an Element has already been defined, it is useful to use the "Divide Elements" tool that you can find in the Elements form, so that you can create additional Nodes that you can use to define a Nodal Load within the Element.

  • Does EngiLab Frame.2D support units such as metric, imperial, etc?

    Yes, EngiLab Frame.2D 2022 supports a wide variety of units and unit systems, such as metric, US (Imperial), SI, among others. Note that Frame.2D (or Beam.2D as the software was formerly named) versions earlier than 2022 did not support specific units. These earlier versions of the software used consistent units, i.e. units can be anything as long as they stay consistent. For details on consistent units and how they are defined and used, please refer to the program's documentation: The user manual and the help file that can be opened within the program.

  • Why in some units the "Show info" button is disabled?

    The "Show info" button refers the user to the Wikipedia article about the corresponding unit. Only the most popular units have a dedicated Wikipedia web page. EngiLab Units covers a wide variety of units for each unit category and most units do not have such a web page. In these cases, the button is disabled.

  • How many units are supported by EngiLab Units?

    EngiLab Units 2022 (v. 3.5) supports 715 Units in 22 Unit Categories. More units and unit categories will be added in future versions of the program.

  • What unit categories are supported by EngiLab Units?

    EngiLab Units 2022 (v. 3.5) supports the following 22 Unit Categories:

    1. Acceleration (Linear)
    2. Angle
    3. Angular Velocity
    4. Area
    5. Computer storage (decimal & binary)
    6. Density
    7. Energy & Work
    8. Force
    9. Length & Distance
    10. Mass
    11. Power
    12. Pressure & Stress
    13. Rotational (Torsional) Stiffness
    14. Second Moment of Area (Area Moment of Inertia)
    15. SI Prefixes
    16. Solid Angle
    17. Surface Tension & Translational Stiffness
    18. Speed (Velocity)
    19. Temperature
    20. Time
    21. Torque & Moment of force
    22. Volume

  • What kind of structures can be analyzed by EngiLab Truss.2D?

    EngiLab Truss.2D specializes in the linear static analysis of plane (2D) trusses. For the analysis of beams and frames, please see EngiLab Frame.2D software.

  • Does EngiLab Truss.2D support units such as metric, imperial, etc?

    Yes, EngiLab Truss.2D 2022 supports a wide variety of units and unit systems, such as metric, US (Imperial), SI, among others. See the program's documentation for details on units.

  • What kind of structures can be analyzed by EngiLab Frame.2D?

    EngiLab Frame.2D specializes in the linear static analysis of plane (2D) frames. The program can also analyze beams and plane trusses. On the other hand, EngiLab Truss.2D specializes in the analysis of 2D trusses only, and it offers many extra features for this type of structures, exclusively.

  • What is the difference between EngiLab Frame.2D and EngiLab Truss.2D software?

    EngiLab Frame.2D specializes in the linear static analysis of plane (2D) frames, while EngiLab Truss.2D specializes in the linear static analysis of plane (2D) trusses. The graphical user interface is similar for the two programs and in practice if you learn to use one of them you will be also able to easily use the other one.
