Element Type Assignment

After creating a model, it is recommended to check the type of elements.


LIRA-FEM software imports construction axes, walls, slabs, columns, and beams from DXF text files. To import these objects to the application, they should be represented by a specific object and belong to a layer with a predefined name.

Information about model components

In LIRA SAPR, a command Information about nodes and elements can be found on the Select toolbar. It allows not only to get the full information about all components of the model but also to edit many of them.


Copy by parameters, copy by rotation, mirror copy, copy by one node


In the 2014 version we developed new ribbon interface styles: "Ribbon RC", "Ribbon Steel", "Ribbon plus". It simplifies the handling process with design scheme and provides a simpler and more intuitive scheme positioning in the workspace.

LIRA-SAPR: Fragmentation

This tutorial illustrates options of the Fragmentation command for the comprehensive detailed visual examination and possible modification of design model as well as for the evaluation of analysis results


This videoguide answers the questions: What is load case and how to assign loads?


To run any command on objects included in the design scheme (deletion, stiffness assignment, application of loads, etc.), first of all you must point to the corresponding objects by selecting them from the general scheme. To delete the object, it is necessary to indicate it (further, the operation of selecting model objects will be...
