A full 2D/3D structural finite element platform built on the Direct Stiffness Method. Place nodes, connect members, assign steel sections, apply nodal and distributed loads, define hinge releases - and run linear static, modal, seismic response spectrum, and time-history analyses instantly in your browser. Go beyond linear behaviour with pushover (nonlinear static) analysis - plastic hinges, capacity curve and N2-method performance check - and let the built-in structural optimizer find lighter sections, better node positions and efficient member layouts for 2D frames and trusses.
Whether you’re learning structural dynamics, teaching a course, or need a quick tool for preliminary design and seismic assessment, StructLabX has you covered. Start from a blank canvas or pick one of the ready-made examples.
