- element stiffness matrixes for different types of elements, primarily bars, beams and plane elements
- assemblying stiffness matrix structures
-linear elastic analysis of elastic supporting bar structures, beam and shell constructions and plane and asymmetrical structures
. elastic-plastic analysis
- linear stability and neutral frequency analysis
