GoBeam - continuous beam analysis
The main asset of GoBeam is productivity. The simple and clear interface layout offers minimum time to enter beam parameters and to get complete analysis results, including graphs and tables. Despite of visual simplicity GoBeam offers unique features greatly appreciated by engineers.
Features:
Modeling
- Up to 100 spans
- Concentrated and linear loads
- Support displacement load
- Free or fixed ends of the beam
- Column supports (above or below)
- Elastic and compression only supports
- In-span hinges (moment release)
- Variable beam stiffness within a span
- Sway frame option (for beams with columns)
Functionality
- Static analysis
- Beam on elastic foundation non-linear analysis
- Support settlement analysis
- Moving load analysis for user-defined lane+truck type of loads. Standards loads such as HL93, CL-625, M 1600, Cooper E90 and others are included in truck database.
- Influence lines of forces, support reactions and deflections
- Plastic analysis: progressive collapse and moment redistribution
- Multiple load cases
- Load combinations
- Force envelopes
- Section properties calculator
- SI and US customary units
- Customized printing
