XBeam2D

XBeam2D is the MOST intuitive structural analysis and design software for steel, concrete or timber beams on multiple supports and/or beds.

The user interface ensures fluid performance and enables fast input of your structure. The program is extremely easy to use (even without reading the manual first), intuitive, modern and incredibly fast.
