I'm wanting to build some steel trusses in FreeCAD and ensure the design will not fail. The designs I like are the attic truss and the three-piece raised centre bay truss. If I design these in FreeCAD, can it calculate moments, stress, etc. and solve like other tools?

Frame3DD can do the calculation.
