The pre- and post-processors of the presented software package are coded in the C++ programming language while the solver is written by using the FORTRAN programming language. A user-friendly graphical interface of the presented software is developed to facilitate the modeling process and result interpretation of the problem. The solver employs the stability functions for capturing the second-order effects to minimize modeling and computational time. Both the plastic-hinge and fiber-hinge beam-column elements are available in the presented software. The generalized displacement control method is adopted to solve the nonlinear equilibrium equations. }, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {12}, year = {2016}, pages = {1513 - 1518}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005874}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/120}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 120, 2016}, }
