Atlas - Free beam analysis AND DESIGN program
Atlas computes the resulting moments and reaction forces for a given beam with loads applied to it (single as well as distributed), using Cross' method.
The program has a very easy interface. It lets you enter your data with the mouse, and it shows the resulting moments and shear forces immediately in both a graphical and numerical way. Maximum bending moments can easily be calculated.

Framework 2D and 3D
This free program can be used to calculate the statical force distribution and eigen frequencies in a 2 and 3 dimensional framework.
Statical calculation; linear elastic 2D
The program supports the following calculation capabilities:
-  nodal loads
-  seven types of beam loads: POINT LOAD, DISTRIBUTED LOAD, TRIANGULAR LOAD, BLOCK LOAD, MOMENT LOAD, ARBITRARY DISTRIBUTED  LOAD and TEMPERATURE LOAD.
-  various BASE loads from where load COMBINATIONS can be composed.
-  all of a selection of the beams can possess continuous distributed  springs along the beam axis.
-  the beams can be prismatic or non prismatic
-  the beams can be FIXED, HINGED or SPRING connected to the nodes.
-  infinite stiff ECCENTRICAL beam connections are possible.
-  the nodes can undergo prescribed displacements.
-  when for prismatic beams the moments of resistance have been entered   the stresses in the beams will be calculated
-  it is possible to indicate per beam if shear distortions should be  accounted for in the calculation process (
-  the nodes can also be connected via springs with the surrounding world.
-  the calculation of plastic hinges is supported by the program;
-  next to elastic stress checks these checks can be performed according Eurocode 3 (steel) too; buckling checks can be performed also

-  further stress checks according Eurocode 5 (timber) is supported
-  the program is capable to adjust the beam sections to be close to an unity factor of one

Beam Under Transverse Loads Calculator
The purpose of this Java Application  is to study shear, moment, and deflection distribution over the length of a beam which is under various transverse load.
You can choose from 4 types of beams.

1. Cantilever Beam.
2. Both end pinned Beam (Simply supported beam).
3. Both ends clamped beam.
4. One end pinned and the other end clamped (Propped cantilever Beam)

When the selection of beam type is changed and add button is pressed, the program is initialized and the corresponding supports for each ends will be shown.

Also there are 3 kind of loading to choose from.

1. Concentrated Force (P).
2. Linearly Distributed Load (W1 to W2).
3. Moment (M).
After each load is added, the effect of this load to the deflection, shear, and moment distribution over the length of the beam will be shown in blue colored diagram.
