Beam analysis and steel shapes
Analyze general beams using your material and section properties, or choose steel sections from AISC, CISC, European, UK, and Australian/New Zealand catalogs. Search by dimensions and stiffness, inspect dimensioned section drawings, and compare section properties or beam responses. View the analyzed beam, reactions, shear, bending moment, deflection, slope, and available elastic stresses in interactive charts. Open the same beam in Optimal Beam to continue editing. No Optimal Beam account is required for analysis or catalog lookup in ChatGPT. This is linear elastic analysis, not a member-capacity or design-code check.
