Structural Analysis of continous Indeterminate beam for Civil, Mechanical and Architecture Engineers, designers and students
Produce Bending Moment, Shear Force and Deflection Diagrams.
You can get the values at different location just by rolling your cursor over the Diagrams.
User can get Maximum and minimum values, reactions and member forces.
It takes less than one and half minutes to have analysis results for 4 span beam. It is very simple both in use and look. It save your valuable time considerably. You need not to go through exhausting help files.
It offers you to enter data in differing units at every level. You may enter Elasticity in N/mm2, span in ft and load in KN-m. Similarly, you can see results in different units just by one click. You can enter: any no of spans with different stiffness, support settlement, Uniformly varying load, distribution load, point load, point moment. You can change the default support (hinge support) to free support, fixed support or elastic support.
It has no compatibility issues; it can be used on any Windows Operating System. After Installation you can port it anywhere just by copy-paste. You can also use this software as Beam-Calculator.
This software only cost you to communicate it to all of your concerned friends and colleagues and to give your constructive suggestion for its further development.
Under Development components:
*File saving option.
*Concrete Beam Design with Bar Bending Schedule as per different design codes.
*Steel Design with structural detailing
*Influence Line Diagram
*More interactive GUI
*And many more Functions.

This program is time saving and having good presentation of result.
It is the simplest and easy for students and engineers how do not want to read lengthy help files.
However it covers adequately the practical problems like support settlement, elastic supports, VDL and multiple span with varying stiffness.
Pros:
Graphical Result, Presentation of Shear Force Bending Moment Diagrams
Multiple Units entry
Cons:
The program does not save file.
All data vanishes when you close program
It is only an analysis program. It would be more useful if it contains concrete and steel design. More
