MODELING CAPABILITIES
- Full compatibility with any consistent system of units (Metric, Imperial, etc) - No limitations on units
- 3 Degrees Of Freedom (DOFs) per Node (X-, Y-Displacements, Z-Rotation)
- Analysis of 1D Multi-span (continuous) Beams, 2D Frames, 2D Trusses
- Built-in Section Properties Calculator for most standard sections
- Any type of constraints (DX, DY, RZ) and Springs is supported
- Rotation releases (hinges) at start and/or end of Elements
- Nodal Loads (FX, FY, MZ)
- Uniform or Linear varying Loads along any ElementBody (Acceleration) Loads (e.g. Gravity - Self Weight)
ANALYSIS RESULTS - CALCULATIONS
-
Node X-, Y-Displacements and Z-Rotation
-
Element End Forces (Axial Force, Shear Force, Bending Moment)
-
Support Reactions
- Full analysis report in Rich Text Format (RTF) containing all the above results plus the six pictures (Model, N, V, M, Deformation and Free Body Diagram)
- Full self-validation of the Analysis results (Sum of FX, FY Forces, Sum of Bending Moments should be all zero)

- Individual Element Equilibrium check
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - DRAWINGS
- Easily editable (with a text editor such as Notepad) .bea input file
- Modern, easy-to-use and powerful Graphical User Interface for Pre- and Post-Processing (Zoom, Pan features, Mouse middle button and wheel support)
- Import of DXF Drawings as Analysis Models
- Drawing of diagrams with automatic scaling support and showing intermediate values on screen.
- Axial Force diagram (N)
