What is APM Structure 3D LT?

APM Structure 3D

APM Structure 3D is a handy tool for engineers and designers. It’s the lighter version of a software that helps with strength and dynamic analysis using the finite element method. This means it’s great for checking how parts and structures behave under different conditions.

What Can You Do with APM Structure 3D?

This software is super versatile! It’s designed to handle complex analysis and design tasks for various types of structures like rods, plates, shells, solids, and even compound constructions. No matter what you’re working on, this tool has got your back!

Analyze Any 3D Structure

You can analyze any arbitrary 3D structure made up of rods with any cross-section, plates, shells, and solid elements. Plus, you can apply loads in all kinds of ways! The connections between elements can be rigid or hinged depending on what you need.

Key Features of APM Structure 3D LT

Here are some awesome features:

• An intuitive interface that makes drawing and editing super easy.


• A built-in cross-section editor lets you create custom cross-sections quickly; it calculates geometric properties automatically!


• You can handle rod cross-sections of any geometry.


• The software calculates real torsion while considering stress concentrators.


• It supports all types of loads like concentrated, distributed, wind, and snow loads.


• Your results are displayed in tables, color maps, or isoareas for better visualization.


• A material database helps keep track of everything you need and allows edits.


• You get undo/redo support to make changes effortlessly!

More Analysis Capabilities

• You can calculate loads at nodes along with stresses and displacement.


• The software shows effective stress distribution in any rod cross-section.


• Bending moments, torsional moments, radial forces—you name it!


• Buckling safety factor calculations are included too!


• You’ll find natural shapes and frequencies calculations helpful as well.


• This program also handles second-order analysis for geometrically nonlinear problems.


• Dynamic response analysis? Check!


• Finally, it calculates the mass of structures for you too!
