Nonlinear analysis of structures is an important task for efficient and safe projects, allowing the saving of material resources and the identification of second-order effects on the behavior of structural models that may have significant consequences. This type of analysis is performed with iterative numerical algorithms, and visualization of graphic results is essential to auxiliary the interpretation of the analyst. For this reason, nonlinear analyses only became common with the advent of graphical-interactive computational applications. However, unlike a linear-elastic analysis, where the results provided by the program depend very little on the users knowledge about the solution methods, a nonlinear analysis requires a series of input parameters related to the numerical methods and thus demands a basic understanding about the solution algorithms and nonlinear structural behavior. With this in mind, this work aims to develop a user-friendly computational tool with a simple graphical interface, but with a robust solver, to assist the learning of geometrically nonlinear analysis of two-dimensional frame models. The structural analysis software Ftool, largely used by the Civil Engineering community and academia, was adopted to receive the new features to perform geometrically nonlinear analyses. In the new version of the Ftool program, students, engineers and researchers have the opportunity to use and test various solution techniques of the nonlinear system of equilibrium equations, which are described in detail throughout this work. The way the nonlinear analysis is performed allows for a full control by users over the progress of the analysis. In addition, graph results can be studied in the new plotting environment of the program.
