TRUSS ANALYZER 1.1 for Windows Northing-Easting Method of Truss Analysis Software edition of "Analysis of Truss System" (Excel, 2012) by Eng. Prof. Duwa Hamisi Chengula Mbeya University of Science and Technology (MUST) RUNNING IT Double-click TrussAnalyzer.exe. No installation is needed, and it runs from any folder, including a USB stick. Requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). It uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, which is already part of Windows 10/11. If it is missing, the program says so; install the free "Evergreen WebView2 Runtime" from Microsoft and start the program again. The first time, Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC" because the program is new and not code-signed. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway". WHAT IT DOES Truss model ............ enter joints (Easting, Northing), members, supports and loads; member forces and reactions are solved as you type and drawn. Northing-Easting method the Northing-Easting Method of Truss Analysis, worked joint by joint, step by step. Stiffness method ....... direct stiffness working: member [k], global [K], supports, displacements, forces, reactions. Joint calculator ....... the original "Analysis of Member Forces" sheet. User manual ............ rules and sign convention. Bearings are measured clockwise from North; North and East are positive; tension is positive, compression negative. Units: kN and metres. Determinate trusses are solved by equilibrium; indeterminate ones by the stiffness method, using each member's EA. FILES New / Open / Save / Save as (Ctrl+N, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Shift+S) Projects are saved as .truss files. You can also drag a .truss file onto TrussAnalyzer.exe to open it. Print / Save as PDF (Ctrl+P) Prints the tab you are on. Choose "Save as PDF" as the printer to make a PDF report. Your last session is remembered automatically in %APPDATA%\TrussAnalyzer\state.json REBUILDING FROM SOURCE (for developers; see the source zip) Needs Go 1.22 or newer.
