## What is Beam Designer?

With this app you calculate the natural frequencies, deflections and stresses for many different european steel profiles in a very simple and intuitive way. Just select between different round and square hollow profiles or T-beams from the library or enter your own data. You get the important characteristic values for all profiles, from the cross-section to the moment of inertia.

Choose between different load cases for beams on 2 supports and get the results of deflection and bending stresses.Simply switch between profiles and load cases and optimize your design. For more information visit the website.

If you like the app and is helpful for you, we are looking forward to a positive review in the App Store. This helps to develop the app also in the future.
