FEM Beam Deflection Analysis

Features
Read full description

A benchmark tool for FEA students and programmers. Finite element beam deflection analysis performs finite element calculations for statically determinate Euler-Bernoulli beams. The code is written in Objective C, using a matrix library that interfaces BLAS, LAPACK and vDSP functions via the Accelerate Framework. Besides beam deflection of statically determinate beams, included free vibration analysis module that calculates natural frequencies of a free model. Finite element beam deflection analysis also includes: - 8 sample projects (requires clean install) -Multiple sharing options including airdrop, enables exporting raw pdf data to other available applications (i.e. pdf editors) for writing reports. -Saving and restoring projects. -Calculating mathematical formulas in entries automatically.

Beam Deflection

Features
Read full description

Beam Deflection is a civil engineering calculator for preliminary steel beam and 2D frame analysis. Define span length, IPE section, supports (pin, roller, fixed), and loads (point, distributed, moment). The app solves indeterminate beams using a 2-DOF finite element stiffness method and shows: โ€ข Support reactions โ€ข Shear, bending moment, and deflection diagrams โ€ข Peak values, elastic bending stress, and deflection limit checks (L/250, L/300) โ€ข Live beam schematic with section preview โ€ข 2D plane frame analysis โ€” portal and multi-story grids with M/V/ฮด diagrams and deformed shape (subscription) โ€ข Learn tab โ€” structural definitions and step-by-step calculation guides Intended use: educational and preliminary site checks. Not a substitute for licensed structural design or code-compliant calculations. Always verify results independently. Privacy: No personal data collected by the developer.
