Deflection Pro is an advanced structural analysis calculator for beam, truss, and frame design. The software is designed to be simple, intuitive, and useful for structural engineers worldwide. Like our other apps, it is designed to run on all your devices. LOAD COMBINATIONS Deflection Pro generates common load combinations based on American and European standards. Simply select a desired design method in the settings page and assign a category to each load. The results are seamlessly aggregated and integrated into the same charts and interface as if you were designing a simple beam case. BEAM COLUMN CAPACITY CHECKS Deflection Pro calculates beam column strength capacity for flexure, shear, tension, and compression based on the AISC specification. The software accurately reproduces tabulated values in steel construction manuals. Flexure Design • Yielding • Lateral torsional buckling • Local buckling • Flange local buckling • Compression flange local buckling • Web local buckling • Compression tee stem local buckling Shear Design • Web shear strength • Web shear strength, considering field action Tension Design • Yielding tensile strength • Rupture tensile strength Compression Design • Flexural buckling • Torsional buckling OTHER FEATURES Since this is our latest and greatest structural analysis app, we are actively improving it and adding new functionality. It receives more frequent updates than other tiers of our software. Other advanced functionality include the ability to directly export to PDF and to save to an external file for backup and sharing.

Stop reading messages. Start closing them. Your work lives in your chats: the payment someone owes you, the meeting to confirm, the file you promised to send. It hides between stickers and good-morning messages, and it slips. fromCom is an AI assistant for your chats. It reviews your work conversations, pulls out the few things that actually need action, and lines them up for you. You never type a to-do. It all comes from the conversations you already have. 300 messages. 4 that need you. And each one arrives ready to finish in a single tap: • Reply: a draft written in your voice, ready to send • Calendar: turn a "let's meet Tuesday" into an event • Reminder: never let an ask sit until you forget it • Follow-up: chase the answer you are still waiting on • Schedule: write it now, send it exactly when it matters Your AI does the work. You keep the final say: nothing is sent, booked, or scheduled until you say go. HOW IT WORKS 1. Link fromCom to your chats in one step. 2. Your AI assistant reviews your work conversations. 3. Each one becomes a ready action you finish in a tap. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone whose work lives in their chats. Freelancers keeping clients happy, business owners juggling suppliers and staff, anyone carrying a dozen open threads at once. Turn your chats into action. Never chase. Never get chased. From noise to done. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: fromCom at Free against Deflection Pro's $19.99. fromCom also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). Deflection Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and device support (4 vs 1). On ads there is nothing between them.
