Abstract
A method for analyzing the strength of a structure and an apparatus using the same which are capable of more simply and accurately computing the stress of each element of the structure by selectively grouping the elements of the structure, which receive a lot stress, and analyzing the stresses of the grouped elements with respect to the entire structures. The method includes the steps of a first step for grouping a concerned element of an object structure and computing a strength of the concerned element, a second step for setting a unit load value and computing a stress of the concerned element, a third step for changing a stress value corresponding to the unit load value into a related function with respect to the entire elements, a fourth step for computing a stress based on an actual load value based on the related function and actual load value, and a fifth step for analyzing a strength of a corresponding structure based on the stress based on the actual load value.
