Application Description:
BeamDesign is an innovative and powerful app designed specifically for civil engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, and students involved in designing 1D hyperstatic frames. Utilizing the Finite Element Method (FEM), this app provides instant calculation results, allowing users to input and edit geometry, forces, supports, load cases, and more. With features like various types of loads, different connections and supports, and the ability to add or edit materials and sections, BeamDesign offers a comprehensive design experience.
Features of BeamDesign:
- Intuitive Design and Instant Calculations: Easily input and edit geometry, forces, supports, and load cases to create your desired frame design. The app performs calculations instantly, saving you valuable time.
- Comprehensive Load Options: Simulate real-life scenarios with various load options, including F, T, and q (rectangular and triangular) loads.
- Flexible Connections and Supports: Choose between fixed and hinge connections at beam ends, as well as different types of supports like fixed, hinge, roller, and spring supports in any direction.
- Imposed Deflections and Material Customization: Incorporate imposed deflections to account for external factors. Easily add or edit materials and sections to tailor your frame design to specific requirements.
- Thorough Analysis: Analyze the moment, shear, stress, deflection, reaction forces, and unity checks of your frame design with load cases and load combinations, including safety factors. This ensures the reliability and safety of your structure.
- Beta Testing and Web Version: Stay ahead of the curve by becoming a Beta Tester and contributing to the app's continuous improvement. A web version of FrameDesign is also available for your convenience.
