Anaxsoft SectionExpert calculates the geometric properties of arbitrary shaped and thin-walled cross-sections. It provides
a flexible and rich environment to work with, and is powered by our powerful engine, Anaxsoft
FEEA SDK, which means that finite elements are used to calclulate the cross-section properties.
SectionExpert produces reports with export capabilities to:
- Microsoft Word

- PDF

documents, for further customization of the produced results.
Users of SectionExpert™
