The most intuitive and user-friendly continuous beam analysis software available. It supports both static and moving loads, accounts for support settlements, and offers non-linear analysis of beams on elastic foundations, plastic moment redistribution, and influence line analysis. The program also models elastic springs, column supports, in-span hinges, and variable beam stiffness.
GoBeam is designed for maximum productivity. Its intuitive interface allows engineers to input beam parameters quickly and generate comprehensive results complete with graphs and tables.
Key Features:
Modeling - Model up to 100 continuous spans
- Apply concentrated, distributed, and support displacement loads
- Include column supports option (above or below the beam)
- Use elastic or compression-only support types
- Insert in-span hinges for moment release
- Elastic and compression only supports
- In-span hinges (moment release)
- Assign variable stiffness within individual spans
- Enable sway frame behavior for beams with lateral column interaction
