STAGS 2.0 is a finite element code for general-purpose nonlinear analysis of stiffened, thin-shell structures of arbitrary shape and complexity. Its capabilities include stress, stability, vibration, and transient analyses, with both material and geometric nonlinearities permissible for all analysis types. It is used extensively throughout the aerospace, shipbuilding, and other industries for analysis of panels, pressure vessels, and general shell structures. STAG 2.0's forte is the analysis of complex, nonlinear systems that depend on post-buckling strength and require analysis well into the post-buckled regime. It is routinely used for pre- and post-test verification of complex systems, especially those sensitive to initial geometric imperfections, which can be defined in STAG 2.0 with great ease and flexibility. Source code is included. Implemented under IRIX 4.0.5 and 5.2. Available by license.
