Beam Items

Beam length, tributary width, supports, point loads & distributed loads are all edited directly on the schematic, at right:

Double-click an item to edit or delete it
Double-click empty beam to add a point load there
Right-click the schematic for a summary table of any category

TIE-DOWN = anchored, resists uplift & bearing · FREE = bearing only (post/wall, no anchorage — flags if net reaction is uplift)

Modulus E (MPa)

Moment of Inertia I (mm⁴)

E and I are used for deflection only. Defaults shown ≈ 45×240 mm timber joist, for reference only — enter your actual section.

Allowables & Limits

Allow. Bending Moment (kN·m)

Allow. Shear Force (kN)

Rated capacities (e.g. from a product datasheet, already including its own factor of safety) — compared directly against demand moment/shear, not a stress calculation.
