Structural analysis is helpful in finding force, moment and deflection in the structure.
There are various methods of structural analysis such as moment distribution method for
finding the moment in various beams of a structural system. However, nowadays, these
methods have been replaced by software which make analysis work easier and accurate.
Some of the commonly used software are as follows:
