## What is iBeams Pro?

Unlike traditional design tools where you have to define nodes and elements to model your structure, iBeams Pro let's you work like you normally do. You sketch out your beam and loads like you would on a design pad, and instantly view shear, moment, deflection and reactions diagrams.

It is very easy to modify and view variations, and you can rapidly analyze several beams in a matter of minutes rather than hours, allowing you to finish your designs more rapidly than ever before.

The file format is compatible with iBeams Pro for macOS.

Features include: 

• Beam diagrams with multiple loads and supports, and the corresponding shear, moment, deflection, and reaction diagrams 
• User editable properties 
• Imperial and S.I. (metric) units 
• Editable material and section properties (ships with AISC, BS5950, CISC, and AS/NZS databases)
• Multiple supports 
• Multiple loads 
• Joints and Moment Releases
• Annotations
• synchronize preferences and property settings between macOS and iOS versions of this application
• support for storing documents on Cloud shares

### 5/5 — ¡¡¡ Excelente !!!

*2025-10-28, version 3.4*

Estupendo programa para calculistas de estructuras de vigas continuas

### 5/5 — Reseña

*2016-11-29, version 2.1*

Muy práctico e intuitivo. Funciona a la perfección.

### 5/5 — Please make another app for frames :-)

Nice app and easy to use

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2014-09-15*

This ap is elegant and functional. In the right hands, it is an excellent tool for both the professional engineer and student.

It comes with my full recommendation.

### 4/5 — Needs More Units

*2014-02-21*

Love the app, easy to use, does everything. But it doesn't get 5 stars because in my country we use ton and kg and the app doesn't support these units, so it is pretty hard having to be changing from a converter to the app.

Please add these units in the next update...
