About CASA Plane Frame 2D
Structural / Civil Engineering App for static elastic analysis of 2D plane-frames.
With CASA PF-2D an engineer can create 2D structural models of plane-frames and obtain both the numerical results and graphical representation of the deflections and forces. There is an emphasis on quick and precise modelling with graphical interaction. Results are graphically interactive with a sliding readout of numerical results at any point along a member.
More information about this App can be found in its integrated help and on our website. The App also contains "Replay Demonstrations" which describe and enact its use.
=== General Technical Features ===

* Integrated extensive section library:
- British, European, American, Canadian, Australian, South African, Japanese, Russian.
- See our website for the range of shapes.
* Integrated section generator for common shapes:
- Open: I/H, channel, zed, angle, tee.
- Hollow: Oval, Rectangular.
- Solid: Oval, Rectangular.

- User materials can be added.
* Member ends can be rigid or pinned.
* Loads applied as point, couple, trapezoid.

What's New in the Latest Version 21.05
Last updated on Jun 1, 2021
Old Versions
Maintenance update.
The app now uses the standard iOS file browser, and we recommend saving any current documents and closing the app prior to updating. On first launch, if it opens in the "Recents" files tab, then browse to "On my iPad" and then to this app's documents. If the app were not fully closed prior to updating then the documents folder may appear empty when first opened, in which case close the app in the iOS home page and relaunch it.
