I wrote this program because others like it were in the $100 + range. Large firms have purchased BeamPro even though they have powerful programs as they tell me BeamPro is much simpler and faster to setup for simple and multi-span configurations. The results file has information associated with the analysis and shows the Max and Min shear, moment and deflection values and their locations on the beam.Ī typical single span beam can be run in under 2 minutes, it is very easy to set up. The output screen allows the user to add particular values to the plot and print them out.
As one inputs the information the beam is drawn in real-time, this allows the user to visually view the input data. Other configurations are Cantilever left, right side or both sides and it also has a Hinge Option. This program can handle multiple span, and point, uniform, varying uniform and applied moments in the positive and negative direction. Copies have also been sold to firms in Canada, England and even Belgium (hence there are four metric input/output outputs to choose from). This program is priced reasonable and is starting to have a significant following of Engineer's and Technicians across the United States. which is home to BeamPro an easy to use continuous beam analysis program for the Microsoft Windows platform.
