Development of truss finite element analysis software using ANSYS

Truss is one of the important components for a structure and need to be designed in such a way that they have enough strength and rigidity to satisfy the strength and serviceability limitation. Although there are many existing commercial engineering software such as STAAD.Pro, LUSAS, MATLAB and etc...
