The simplified version of the program EAVEK has been developed in the MATLAB
programming language. Theoretical backgrounds of the new program are based on the
program EAVEK. However, some new capabilities are added in the program. Therefore, the
new program automatically checks the irregularity in plan and considers accidental torsion
and second-order effects according to Eurocode 8. In addition, it is also possible to add new
macro-elements in the program. The algorithm, the construction of the stiffness matrices of
the macro-elements, and the input and output data are described. In the project a list of the
commands used for the analysis or post-processing of the results is also presented. The use of
the program is demonstrated by the two examples and the results of the analyses are compared
with results obtained by the programs SAP 2000, ETABS, and EAVEK.
