Beam Analysis

Module Summary

• Provides analysis capability (without design or code checking functionality) for an individual beam of specified section properties
• Permits multi-span continuous beams
• Permits cantilevers to be modeled at one end or both ends
• Allows fixed or pinned support conditions
• Incorporates point loads, concentrated moments, full-length uniform loads, partial-length uniform loads, and trapezoidal loads
• Includes option to perform automatic unbalanced live load placement (skip-loading)
• Offers the convenience of fill-in-the-blanks style forms and instantaneous recalculation to facilitate the evaluation of “what-if” scenarios
• Provides highly efficient results summaries as well as generous detail in the on-screen and printed results
• Provides rich, 3D graphics that support zoom, pan, and many customizable view options.
