Overview

This section presents solutions to benchmark problems from the validation guide developed by the French Society of Mechanics and published by AFNOR.

These benchmarks are widely used to assess the accuracy of structural analysis software, as well as to evaluate its capabilities, scope of application, and limitations.

You are encouraged to review these examples to understand how the software performs under different structural scenarios, and to judge whether it is suitable for your intended applications.
