User's Guide: Computer Program with Interactive Graphics for Analysis of Plane Frame Structures (CFRAME).

Abstract

This report documents the usage of the general purpose computer program CFRAME for the analysis of plane frame structures. The intent was to develop and easy-to-use program incorporating the best features of many similar programs and to provide the many additional capabilities required by a diverse group of users. CFRAME utilizes the stiffness methods of structural analysis. The Cholesky decomposition method is used to solve the resulting matrix equation. Automatic generation routines are available to simplify the data input. Graphical display of this input data is also available. The output may be printed or displayed with graphics. (Author)
