What's New in Deflection Lite

8.1.1

February 22, 2024

Minor fixes.

User reviews

Much improved, but would benefit from better in-application checks/instruction

Perhaps better instruction and/or step-by-step wizards to repeat tasks. For example, beam self-weight seems to be missing, so you have to remember to adjust a manual distributed load on every beam change. That said, recent upgrades to this app have been very good, and it does feel a lot more useable these days.

Needs better instruction and step-by-step wizards

Needs better instruction and step-by-step wizards. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, who knows — so hard to figure out the unintuitive UI that you never quite know what it’s doing. Honestly, needs a redesign with some stronger UI folks.

Clumsy UI

Clums y UI coupled with limited functionality has me looking for something better.

Terrible app, what a pain in the neck to use. Poorly designed application, please refund my purchase.

Bom

Só que pra ver os diagramas tem que pagar... deveria ter mais opções, como pórticos ou vigas inclinadas
