Description	Sigma-2D is a 2D finite element program for non-linear, elastic-plastic, contact-surface, plane of weakness, heat-stress and seismic-inertia analyses. Suitable for excavation, embankment, and automatic step-analyses. Triangular or rectangular mesh can be generated automatically (no understanding of FEM is required and FEM terminology never appears in the system). Special elements: beam, bolt, and joint. All input can be done in graphical form using in-built CAD. All output is in figure format, including contour, displacement, stress vector, and colour map of stress distribution. It contains three bundled utilities: CAD, word processor and layout function. Runs on 66Mhz 8MB RAM PC.
