gcTool1 is a program for the analysis of continuous
beams, plane frames, trusses and grids.
The program can be used in any PC computer that counts
with Windows of 32 or 64 bits. It does not have
special memory requirements or special limits in terms
of the number of nodes and bars that can be included
in a model. Given the fact that it works in a graphic
environment, the practical limit is established by the
number of nodes and bars that can be handled in the
screen.
Bars with constant or variable cross section can be
included in the model. Loads in bars, uniform, linear,
trapezoidal, triangular, parabolic, forces and
concentrated moments are contemplated; in the nodes,
forces and moments. Variations to the temperature of
the bars and displacement of the supports can also be
applied.
There can be created groups of combinations of basic
load cases. The envelope of each group of combinations
can be obtained. Several unit systems can be used.
The program can be used in English or Spanish.
