Beam Calculation
With the following program the static stress analysis of beams can be run.
The calculation results can be displayed graphically (resulting transverse forces, bending moments, bending stresses, shear stresses,
deflection, tendency angle, static safety).
Groundwork Calculations
The groundwork of calculations for the calculation module 'Beam Calculation' is the Finite-Element Method.
Scope of the Program
 Loadings:
- Axial forces (centric, eccentric) max. 20

- Radial forces max. 20
- Distributed loads max. 20
- Bending moments max. 10
- Torsion moments max. 10
For the calculation of the beam for the constrained torsion the following limitations are in force:
1. The beam must have a constant longitudinal cross-section.
2. The beam can not have more than one span.
3. Supports of a single beam can be two hinges or two restraints.
4. As beam profiles, either hot-rolled I-beams or hot-rolled U-profile should be considered.
 Bearings
- Number of max. bearings: 10
- Rigid resp. elastic bearings ( given bearing stiffness coefficients for degree of freedom )
- Rigid bearing, free bearing, support, rigid clamping
 Analysis of the maximum deflection
 Analysis of the tendency angle of the bearing points
 Optional consideration of own weight
 Determination of different results for any beam position ( Moments, Bending, Deflection, Angle of Deflection )
 Static stress analysis
 max. 50 beam sections
 Available beam profiles:
- Strip steel, hot DIN EN 10058

- Equal leg angles DIN EN 10056-1
- I-beams, I-series DIN 1025-1
- I-beams, IPB-series DIN 1025-2
- I-beams, IPBI-series DIN 1025-3
- I-beams, IPBv-series DIN 1025-4
- I-beams, IPE-series DIN 1025-5
- Square, cold hollow sections DIN EN 10219-2
- Square, hot hollow sections DIN EN 10210-2*
- Rectangular, cold hollow sections DIN EN 10219-2
- Rectangular, hot hollow sections DIN EN 10210-2*
- Rounds, cold hollow sections DIN EN 10219-2
- Rounds, hot hollow sections DIN EN 10210-2*
- Rod, hot DIN EN 10060
- T-steel, circular DIN EN 10055
- Unequal leg angles DIN EN 10056-1
- U-profile, incline shelf DIN 1026-1
- U-profile, direct shelf DIN 1026-2
- Square profile, hot DIN EN 10059
- Z-steel, hot DIN 1027
* Profiles, whose symbolic notations include the suffix „(1997)“, are no longer part of the present edition of the Norm DIN EN
10210-2.
