BeamDesign: A Powerful FEM-Based App for 1D Hyperstatic Frame Design
BeamDesign is a cutting-edge application designed to streamline the design process for civil engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, and students working with one-dimensional hyperstatic frames. Leveraging the Finite Element Method (FEM), BeamDesign delivers instantaneous calculation results, allowing for efficient input and modification of geometry, forces, supports, and load cases.
This comprehensive tool offers a wide range of features, including diverse load types (F, T, and q – rectangular and triangular), customizable connections (fixed and hinge), and versatile support options (fixed, hinge, roller, and spring). Users can easily adjust materials and sections to precisely meet design specifications. Furthermore, BeamDesign provides crucial analysis data, including moment, shear, stress, deflection, reaction forces, and unity checks, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
Key features include:
- Intuitive Geometry and Load Input: Easily define and modify frame geometry, forces, supports, and load cases with immediate calculation updates.
