MatrixFrame, developed by Matrix Software - Netherlands, is professional software for structural engineering. Various analysis methods can be used, such as linear elastic analyses, tension- and compression only elements, cable elements and geometric and physical non-linear effect of steel and concrete. Several extensions for steel and concrete code checking according Eurocode are available.
MatrixFrame enables you to work in a graphical way, a numerical way, or in a combination of both. The user interface always offers you the most convenient way of working. The software is very powerful making modifications and for interactive design. MatrixFrame is easy to learn and easy to use. Suitable for simple and for complex structures as well.
