Key Strengths

  • Productivity: AnalysisGroup saves you from dealing with low-level finite element meshing. 
  • Focus & Simplicity: Because AnalysisGroup solves very specific problems, your input is significantly lessened and reports are concise.  Limiting project-options to just the essentials keeps everything easy.
  • Value: With solutions for 6 integrated project-types, AnalysisGroup packs a huge wallop for one low price.

Continuous Beam Analysis

  • Up to 10 continuous spans, with supports, hinges, or cantilevered ends
  • Database of steel, wood, and cold-formed shapes
  • Analyze any arbitrary cross section with specified inertia.
  • Rotational and spring supports
  • Uniform, linear, or point loads, and automatic self-weight
  • Colorful deflections, shears, and moments graphically displayed

Common to All Modules
