Only useful for simple cases

You can't do combined loading with this app so it is not very helpful. Your choices are point load, partial distributed load, or full distributed load. I would pay a few bucks for a version that let me combine those three.

Lifesaver in Structures class

I'm an architecture major, and this app was a lifesaver to find for my homework! Helps out tremendously when the shear/moment/deflection diagrams are needed.

Non di uso professionale

Perfettamente inutile . La ho acquistata facendo fede alla recensione ingannevole . In tre anni non ho visto un aggiornamento . Una stella per far pubblicare la recensione

Nice beginning but very limited

This is a nice concept for a handy utility program. Pretty much limited to beginning undergrad interest. A big step forward would be allowing superposition of load cases on beams with the same end conditions. Also include triangular load cases.

Very convenient

Very convenient for engineering beams without using a pc. Nice companion to iBeams Pro at the Mac App Store.
