Would you like to quickly 2D structural models for design or construction verification?

If you regularly design new structures or work with 2D structural models, you’ve probably faced one or more of the following challenges:

you need to design the truss beam of a steel industrial building and quickly check compression and tension forces in its members;
you need to design the seismic-resistant frames of a new building, therefore you must calculate the internal forces in beams and columns by solving the 2D frame structural scheme;
you need to analyze a wooden truss forming part of the roof structure of a building. You will therefore need to solve the truss’s flat static model, consisting of the struts, tie beams, braces, and the truss itself;
you need to perform a strength check on a metal scaffolding structure by analyzing the flat static models of the longitudinal and transverse scaffolding’s resistance models;
you need to export the stress reports from the analyzed static model in Excel, Word or PDF format to attach them to the structural calculation report and perform all the strength checks on the structural elements;
you need to validate the results of the global seismic analysis of a three-dimensional calculation model, comparing them with the results obtained from a simplified flat static model as required by the Technical Standard.

Have you ever found yourself in one of the situations listed above? Now you can use a single app that will allow you to easily address all these problems.

Automatic structure calculation implemented in a great Excel app

I’ve often found myself having to manually solve flat static schemes to desing new buildings or verify local interventions on existing structures. After spending hours manually solving complex 2D structural models and trying various analysis tools, I decided to implement automatic structural calculations in Ca.Tel.2D, a single, simple and easy-to-use app built in Microsoft Excel.

But who am I to suggest an app like this? My name is Marco De Pisapia, I am an italian structural engineer passionate about design and structural analysis. I am the author of the blog marcodepisapia.com, where, since 2015, I have been publishing educational articles on structural calculation and analysis. I graduated with top honors, and from the very beginning, structural calculation has been one of my main areas of work.

I created the Ca.Tel.2D app to meet the needs of structural designers who require a fast and accurate solution for planar structural schemes of any configuration, with the ability to export all result tables in Excel, PDF or Word format to attach them to calculation reports. It also serves as a quick tool to validate results obtained from the analysis of three-dimensional structural models.

Let me introduce Ca.Tel.2D: take a closer look at all the app’s features

Ca.Tel.2D is the app for construction professionals that allows you to solve 2D structural models of any configuration. You can export and print all result tables and model data. The application comes with a wide range of features:

wizard for automatic creation of trusses and 2D frames to speed up model generation.
ability to create your own section database to assign to the model’s members.
model editing commands: move node, modify section, modify internal and external supports, etc.
export of all model data: list of nodes, list of members and loads, list of sections.
export of internal force tables.
export of internal force diagrams and deformation diagrams.
multilingual user interface: Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese.

Ca.Tel.2D features simple and intuitive commands for creating and editing static models. Let’s take a closer look at all the functionalities you can use once you download the app.

Wizard for automatic creation of truss beams

Speed up the modeling of trusses with the dedicated automatic wizard. You can select the desired structural scheme from the available options: Mohnié, Howe, Pratt, double-diagonal scheme, Neville, parabolic (Nielsen), and inverted parabolic. Define the geometric dimensions and member sections, then apply loads and internal and external supports.

Wizard for automatic creation of 2D frame models

With the 2D frame creation wizard you can drastically reduce modeling time, avoiding the need to manually define all nodes and members. Simply enter the number of floors and spans, as well as the loads to assign to the beams. You can also define different heights for each floor and different widths for each span.

Work on international projects thanks to the multilingual feature: six languages available

ca.tel.2d selezione lingua dell'interfaccia

Do you need to share your work with colleagues or clients abroad? No problem. Ca.Tel.2D allows you to export calculation reports in a different language than the interface, making it easier to prepare and share projects internationally.

Ca.Tel.2D is available in six languages: Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese/Brazilian. Upon launch, the app automatically detects the operating system language and adapts the user interface accordingly. You can select a different language at any time using the dedicated menu on the home screen.

Database of rectangular or generic sections

You can assign sections to the model’s members by selecting them from a dedicated section database. You can also create new sections in the database or modify existing ones. The section database allows you to define rectangular sections, specifying their dimensions and material or custom sections by inputting the section’s mechanical properties.

Model creation and editing commands: nodes, members, loads, and supports

Ca.Tel.2D offers a comprehensive set of commands for editing the model. You can move a node by specifying the translation length along the two axes or by directly assigning new X and Y coordinates. You can also modify member and load data and define internal or external supports of any type.

Analysis output: deformed shape diagram of the model

After launching the static model resolution, you can view the model’s deformed shape diagram. You can view the displacement and rotation of each node on the screen, adjust the appropriate scale to amplify or reduce the model’s displacement and start the deformation animation.

Analysis output: stress diagrams

After solving the model, you can view the internal moment, shear and axial force diagrams on the screen. You can zoom in or out by adjusting the scale slider. On the diagram screen, you can turn the display of nodes and members index on and off.

**Print reports: export to PDF, Word (.doc, .docx, .rtf) or Excel (.xlsx, *.xls) formats**

Using the dedicated export command, you can select the tables to generate and export them to Excel (.xlsx or .xls), Word (.doc, .docx, .rtf), or PDF format. You can export the list of nodes, members, and cross-sections with their properties, stress and strain tables, and a complete report that includes all the model tables.
