Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS), By Applied Science International, LLC
ELS Cloud - Structural Analysis Software
The ELS Cloud provides users the flexibility of creating models on your local desktop and the solving speed of a high performance computing environment. By providing you with the tools to easily create full 3D models for nonlinear structural dynamic analysis and the processing power to solve complex 3D nonlinear dynamic structural simulations, we give you the freedom to imagine new possibilities for performance based design and build a better future for us all.

The ELS modeler allows users to easily create 3D solid element models by eliminating the need for transition elements, allowing the user to easily model all reinforcement details rather than smearing them in the material, and eliminating the need to manually place placing plastic hinges.
This allows you to focus on creating an accurate 3D model, rather than creating assumptions and relying solely on engineering experience.
Once you complete your model, simply upload them to the ELS Cloud for processing so your system isn’t bogged down with resource intense analysis. As the analysis progresses you can log into your account and view results and catch any issues before the simulation is complete.
The ELS Solver Automatically Calculates:
- Yielding of Reinforcement: automatically calculates material strain from elastic to plastic deformation.
- Plastic Hinge Formation: automatically places plastic hinges.
- Buckling and Post-buckling: automatically calculates elastic and plastic bending under compressive loads.
- Crack Propagation: automatically calculates the location and propagation of cracks.
- Membrane Action & P-Delta Effect(P-Δ): automatically calculates the dynamic force and displacement caused by Membrane Action and the P-Delta Effect.
- Separation of Elements: automatically separates elements based on nonlinear material properties.
- Collision and Collapse: automatically calculates the collision and collapse of separated elements.
