BEDAS Dynamic Analysis of Bridges Subject to Moving Loads Software
BEDAS (Beams Exact Dynamic Analysis Software) is a professional level program for the dynamic analysis of beams and bridges under moving loads. This program uses the exact dynamic stiffness method and is based on an exact finite elements framework. BEDAS handles most typical 2D mechanics, aeronautics and civil/structural analysis problems. It performs static, mode shapes and dynamic response analysis. It gives exact frequencies and mode shapes with only one element per span (member). Dynamic finite elements lead to higher precision of internal forces in any location of structure excited by fixed, moving and/or seismic loads.
BEDAS is the leading 2D finite element program for the true dynamic bridge engineering under high speed moving load (pdf). The user focuses on the geometrical conditions and needs not spend time on matters regarding how to generate the finite element model. BEDAS Key Features:
