Software download and licensing
Documentation
- Modelling and related
"online" help topics are provided within the software.
- LUSAS manuals and
step-by-step examples are available in PDF format from the manuals
and examples page.
Teaching / Training Version
- With an order for LUSAS
Academic you will also receive a Teaching and Training
license key to allow access to the Teaching / Training version of LUSAS, which you can freely distribute to
students. This, together with the step-by-step worked examples
available, is
ideal for teaching fundamentals of FE analysis.
- The Teaching / Training version is a fully functional copy of the
software but with limitations on the size of model / analysis that
can be solved. Current limits are as follows:
