Features
Everything is designed around one workflow: model, check, document.
Analysis
- Continuous beams of any number of spans, with supports at any position
- Pinned, roller and fixed supports; free (cantilever) ends and overhangs
- Moment joints between spans: continuous, hinge or semi-rigid with a rotational stiffness
- Uniform, partial-length and point loads in G and Q groups
- Load cases that can be switched on and off, and live-load pattern loading
- Self-weight, support reactions and an uplift check
Checks
- Eurocode 3, AISC 360 LRFD and AISC 360 ASD, shown together
- Bending, lateral-torsional buckling with a moment-gradient factor from the actual diagram, shear and deflection
- Bearing length, web and flange buckling at every support
- Optional weld and splice checks, shown as a secondary result
- Cantilever tip deflection, camber suggestion and a floor-vibration screening estimate
- Engineering-practice recommendations with every result
Sections
- European (IPE, HEA, HEB, HEM) and UK (UB, UC) rolled sections
- Custom I-section and plate-built sections
- Composite builder: standard beams, butted together if needed, with cover plates and web plates
- Lightest-section finder against a target utilisation
Reports and records
- Printable report with company header, logo, document number and revision history
- Choose which codes appear, and add, remove or write your own notes
- Attach external PDFs and images as appendices
- Saved designs per user, with export and import
Control of access
- Accounts are created by an administrator only; nobody can register themselves
- Disable, expire or sign out a person instantly
- Salted password hashing, sign-in lockout, and an activity log
- Runs on your own computer or server, so your data stays with you
