Mastering Cross-Section Analysis with FAGUS: A Course by Engineers, for Engineers

Unlock the full potential of the most powerful cross-section analysis tool in the market.  This course goes far beyond a simple software tutorial. Designed by engineers for engineers, it is a deep dive into the mechanics of structural analysis, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application. Whether you are analyzing complex reinforced concrete sections, composite steel structures, or prestressed elements, this course provides the expertise needed to handle any geometry with confidence. Starting from the fundamentals of Material Science—exploring non-linear stress-strain relationships and confinement models—we guide you through the intricacies of General Cross-Section Geometry. You will learn to master thin-walled elements, parameterized sections, and complex import workflows. Key Course Highlights: - Advanced Shear & Torsion: Demystify the interaction between shear forces and torsion. Understand the critical selection of the internal lever arm (z), analyze shear walls, and master the formulations for combined stresses. - The Art of Reinforcement: Move beyond basic inputs. Learn to manage reinforcement groups, optimize stirrup layouts, and implement sophisticated design strategies for multi-layered reinforcement. - Prestressing Mastery: Gain full control over prestressed concrete. We cover everything from initial deformation and immediate losses to infinite-time losses, seamlessly integrating FAGUS with STATIK. - Complex Analysis: Dive into My-N interaction diagrams, Moment-Curvature relationships, and efficiency analysis. We also cover stability checks for compressed columns (nominal curvature) and thermal analysis for fire safety. - Automation & Efficiency: Learn to handle Variants for construction stages and utilize Serial Calculations (Batch processing) to automate repetitive tasks and increase your productivity. From the initial definition of analysis parameters to the final detailed report, this course equips you with the knowledge to solve the most demanding structural challenges. Stop guessing and start engineering with precision. Elevate your structural analysis skills. Master FAGUS today.

Student Testimonials

”
I was pleasantly surprised by the functionality of this software, as well as by the features it offers. I am very happy with everything I learned in this course under José Manuel's guidance. It is a highly recommended course for beginners to the programme, and I recommend it to professionals who want to specialise in the software. I hope to continue enjoying the Statik course...
Andrés Pajuelo Valle

Civil Engineer

Although I have been working with the programme for several years, taking the course has allowed me to learn new options and features of the programme that I was unaware of. This is because there is no comprehensive user manual for the programme. For this reason, I would recommend that all users take this course, as it is almost essential. I must also congratulate Jose Manuel for his clear presentation. The examples and explanations are very clear and precise. Thank you very much and best regards.

”
Very useful and interesting. Very well explained by the teacher, in a very dynamic and enjoyable way, which is very suitable for those of us who were already familiar with the programme.
Javier Gamino Palomo

Civil Engineer

”
I have happily completed the Fagus course. I was interested not only in learning about the programme itself, but also in understanding its interrelationships with Statik. Both objectives have been fully achieved. I particularly appreciate the course content and the effort made to explain the programme in a broad context. I loved the possibilities offered by Fagus in terms of thermal calculations, which may be very important in the future, and everything related to understanding shear treatment in Fagus, which will allow me to use this calculation option with confidence and knowledge and in an integrated manner with other Cubus programmes in the future. In short, I really enjoyed the course. Thank you! My sincere congratulations!
