EngiLab Beam.2D 2015 is an easy-to-use yet powerful engineering tool for the structural analysis of plane (2D) frames for Windows, using a 3-DOFs (Degrees of Freedom) per node approach.

It features a full Graphical User Interface (GUI) for pre- and post-processing and uses the Finite Element Method (FEM) for plane frames for its analysis needs.

Modeling Capabilities

• Full compatibility with any consistent system of units (Metric, Imperial, etc)
• 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
• Rotation releases (hinges) at start and/or end of Elements
• Nodal Loads (FX, FY, MZ)
• Uniform, Trapezoidal or Triangular Loads along Elements
• Body (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)
• Constraint and Spring Reactions
• Full analysis report in Rich Text Format (RTF) containing all the above results
• Full validation of the Analysis results (Sum of FX, FY Forces, Sum of Bending Moments should be all zero)
• Global (Model) Equilibrium check
• Individual Element Equilibrium check

Graphical User Interface - Drawings

• New, 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 Axial Force, Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams. Showing intermediate values on screen. Automatic scaling of Diagrams.
• Drawing of the Model Deformation with Automatic scaling. Showing intermediate values on screen. Automatic scaling of Deformation.
