IES Educational Outreach

IES, Inc. is a proud sponsor of higher education, providing free VisualAnalysis to universities and colleges in the USA and Canada since 1994! 

Through this program, hundreds of professors have taught and thousands of students have learned about structural engineering using the interactive features of VisualAnalysis.  IES offers a version of VisualAnalysis as a free educational product for use in teaching or demonstrating or research in structural analysis.

What is VisualAnalysis?

VisualAnalysis is a very graphical, simple tool for modeling civil/structural projects.  At the same time it offers advanced nonlinear modeling features such as tension-only members, P-Delta analysis, and plate/shell elements, time history analysis and more.  Learn more about VisualAnalysis educational features.

History

VisualAnalysis began at Montana State University in the early 1990's under the direction of Dr. Dan VanLuchene.  In 1994, IES, Inc. took the technology into the private sector and VisualAnalysis has been a successful commercial product since.  IES has continued, faithful to its roots, making VisualAnalysis available to universities, assisting educators, and ensuring that students are learning on state-of-the-art tools.  Educators at over 200 universities and colleges in the USA and Canada have used VisualAnalysis to help in the classroom.
