2 Simplicity and efficiency AxisVM Continuously developed since 1991, especially for structural engineers with the use of state-of-the-art methods, AxisVM assists engineers in the code-based design process in numerous countries around the world. A x i s V M 1

3 Due to the easy-to-use graphical interface, the software is quick to learn. Features include linear and nonlinear static, buckling and vibration analyses, seismic/time-history analysis. Three-dimensional models can be created with the use of truss, beam, rib, plate, membrane, shell finite elements. Reinforced concrete, timber structures, and structural steel design modules are available for member and connection design, according to Eurocode and corresponding National Annexes, and according to SIA (Switzerland), NEN (Netherlands), STAS (Romania) standards. The software includes a documentation wizard, which can be used to create design documentation in different languages. AxisVM is available in 11 European languages and is a powerful design aid in the hands of engineers throughout 25 European countries.

4 AxisVM is a comprehensive structural analysis and design software for civil engineers The integrated visual modeling system is a fundamental part of the software. The capability to build the complete 3D model within the software makes it an ideal tool for structural engineering purposes by not requiring additional CAD software. Visual modeling allows the engineers to handle graphically and supervise all relevant data and operations of their work throughout the model generation, The software performs static and dynamic analysis on three dimensional structures using linear and nonlinear analysis methods. Using AxisVM, the following structure types can be modeled: frames, trusses, grid slabs, beams on elastic foundation, membranes in both plane strain and analysis, result evaluation processes. AxisVM implements numerical methods, finite elements, and design modules, which support the fast and efficient design of engineering structures (beam, plate, membrane, shell structures), even in the most demanding modeling cases. plain stress, plates with or without ribs, plates on elastic foundation, arbitrary shell structures. Unlimited number of finite elements can be used in a model. Church steeple reconstruction, Piliscsaba, Hungary Architect designer: Róbert Horváth Structural designer: dr.
