Celsius® hollow section design vs Beam statics
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Celsius® hollow section design
This app assists structural engineers in selecting the optimal hollow section size based on design load conditions and buckling length. It calculates and lists suitable sections from a comprehensive range, providing key information like efficiency factor and mass per meter. Users can filter results by size, utilization, embodied CO₂, or weight, and share selections via email or messaging.
- Calculate section size based on axial load and buckling length
- Select sections for members in bending
- List sections with efficiency factor and mass per meter
- Filter results by size, utilization, CO₂, or weight
- Classify sections by UK market availability
- Share selected sections via email or messaging

This app is designed to help structural engineers to find the right hollow section size for their application. Just enter your design load conditions – ultimate axial load and required buckling length – and this app will calculate which section size, from the comprehensive Celsius® range of structural hollow sections, will best match your application. The app will also select sections for members in bending, based on strength or user‐specified deflection limit. The app will list the sections which meet your criteria, with all the relevant information, including the efficiency factor and mass per metre. Sections are classified relating to their availability in the UK market, so giving you confidence that your selected section will be widely available. Filters may be set to identify sections of a certain size, or utilization. Using the filters, results may be ordered by embodied CO₂, by size or by weight. Want to save your results? Just hold on the selected section and share it by email or any other messaging service. The Celsius range of fully normalized, true hot finished hollow sections from Tata Steel is fully compliant with EN 10210 and CE marked for construction applications. The range covers square, rectangular, circular and elliptical hollow sections from 40x40x4mm to 400x400x16mm and equivalent sizes in other shapes, with circular sections up to 508x16mm.
Beam statics
Explore shear forces and bending moments on beams with various loads and support types. Instantly visualize diagrams and analyze beam flexure.
- Interactive beam loading and support setup
- Instant shear force and bending moment diagrams
- User-friendly value reading at any point
- Calculation and display of beam flexed shape
- Identification of maximum flexing points

The application offers a friendly and simple interactive environment for exploring the distribution of shear forces and bending moments on a beam beam with different externals loadings as well as support types (all combinations of clamped, free & pinned edge). It allows to introduce point loads, distributed loads and moments with magnitudes that can be edited by the user and produces instantly Shear Force (SF) and Bending Moments (BM) diagrams while allowing a user friendly interaction for reading shear and bending values values at any point along the beam. Finally it calculates and displays the beam flexed shape as well as the maximum flexing points.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Celsius® hollow section design at 100% against Beam statics's 0%. Celsius® hollow section design also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Beam statics's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
