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.

Beam 2D is ok except for the output. When the file is saved as an RTF and opened with Word none of the diagrams fit the page size. You have to go through and reformat everything to get an output. I've complained numerous times and they don't do anything to fix it. Idiots. Don't buy it!
A very helpful engineeering tool for linear static analysis of two dimensional frames.
