Reaction forces

Beamsolver can calculate the ground reaction of your structure with ease.

Shear and moment diagrams

Get the diagrams of the internal forces of your structure, and query for values at specific points.

Calculate frames

Beamsolver can solve undetermined structures like portals and frames with ease.

Truss structures

Beamsolver is not limited to frames. You can insert hinges between members and solve trusses as well.

Determinate structures

Determinate structures are easy to solve, since the diagrams don't depend on material properties.

Indeterminate structures

Beamsolver lets you specify section properties, so you can calculate indeterminate structures as well.

Get internal forces diagrams with ease

Get the bending moment equation and the shear equation of any beam

Beamsolver is not limited to numerical quantities. What if your load is simply q? what if your beam's length is simply L?

Beamsolver has an integrated Computer Algebra System to handle symbolic computations.

Of course, you can also input your data with numerical quantities such as kNm and kPa.

Highly customizable loads, supports and hinges

Beamsolver handles beams, trusses and frames with advanced loads, supports and hinges with ease.

Beams with distributed loads

Beams with trapezoidal loads

Beam and trusses with point loads

Beam and trusses with moment loads

Advanced hinges: model complex interal disconnections where your beams meet

Structural analysis made simple

Knowing the bending moment equation is often not enough. With Beamsolver you can dig deeper in the results:

Query the axial force diagram, shear force diagram and bending moment diagram at specific points along the beam

Find where the diagrams are equal to 0

Find inflection points and maximum values by calculating the derivative

You can easily integrate the results and get the beam deflection as well.

Get a step by step solution

If all this wasn't enough, with Beamsolver you get a step by step breakdown of all the calculations that produced the axial force diagram, shear force diagram and bending moment diagram of your structure.

This also includes the Principle of Virtual Work equation used to calculate indeterminate beam structures.
