This is a great helper tool for assessing the results of more complicated models. I would typically run these checks by hand, but this will allow more flexible "playing" with inputs. One request, though. Please make it so units show next to the numbers on the main screen. It's key to being confident that the inputs are correct (k/ft and not k/in for instance). Then it will be a five star app!

This is a nice concept for a handy utility program. Pretty much limited to beginning undergrad interest. A big step forward would be allowing superposition of load cases on beams with the same end conditions. Also include triangular load cases.

Great start, awesome app! It needs an Overhanging Beam and maybe more materials to choose from. It would also be nice if it allows the user to design the beam with custom supports, not just the default ones. How about saving to PDF? That'll be neat. Great jobs guys.
