A two-dimensional tool for analysing frames and beams, built for teaching and therefore focused on speed of entry and clarity of output. Define geometry, sections, supports and loads in a few clicks and immediately get moment, shear, axial force and displacement diagrams. It does not replace a full design package, but it is excellent for a magnitude check before committing to a heavy model, which is why many engineers keep using it years after graduating.
