GoBeam - Continuous Beam Analysis
GoBeam is designed for maximum productivity. Its intuitive interface allows engineers to input beam parameters quickly and generate comprehensive results complete with graphs and tables. Behind its simplicity lies a powerful set of features tailored for structural analysis.
Key Features:
Modeling
- Model up to 100 continuous spans
- Apply concentrated, distributed, and support displacement loads
- Include column supports option (above or below the beam)
- Use elastic or compression-only support types
- Insert in-span hinges for moment release
- Elastic and compression only supports
- In-span hinges (moment release)
- Assign variable stiffness within individual spans
- Enable sway frame behavior for beams with lateral column interaction
Functionality
- Static analysis
- Beam on elastic foundation non-linear analysis
- Support settlement analysis
- Moving load analysis with customizable lane/truck definitions
- Built-in truck types: HL93, CL-625, M1600, Cooper E90, and more
- Influence lines for reactions, internal forces, and deflections
- Plastic analysis for progressive collapse and moment redistribution
- Manage multiple load cases and load combinations
- Generate force envelopes across all scenarios
- Built-in section properties calculator
- Supports both SI and US customary units
- Customizable print output for reports and documentation
