FTOOL Alternatives

FTOOL is described as 'Program that is aimed at teaching the structural behavior of plane frames, occupying an area little explored by educational programs, which are more concerned with the teaching of numerical analysis techniques, or educational versions of commercial programs, more' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to FTOOL for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Web-based, Windows Mobile and Android apps. The best FTOOL alternative is Frame Design, which is free. Other great apps like FTOOL are LinPro, Telaio2D, Optimal Beam and 2D Frame Analysis.
