French term

épure de Crémona

French to English Tech/Engineering Mathematics & Statistics (Offshore) construction/architecture
From a post-grad work sheet on maths and physics of offshore construction.

Does anyone know if this is the name of a design software for example?

Having trouble finding it online to verify translation.

It appears once in the document in the following chunck of text which preceeds a computer drawn diagram.

A partir des efforts externes trouvés, calculer les efforts dans les diagonales et les horizontales des faces du jacket. Pour cela on analysera le modèle simplifié isostatique (articulations aux extrémités des tubes) d'une face (programme ordinateur, épure de Crémona, équilibre des noeuds etc.).
