How to use the FEM Beam 2D application :
- Choose Units: Select between Imperial (kips, ft, in) or Metric (kN, m, mm).
- Node tab:
- Enter the x-coordinate of the node and its designations as a digit
- Press the "Add" button to add the node to the layout
- Enter all the nodes on the beam this way. You must have a node where you will want to add a support or load
- Cross section tab:
- Enter the value of the moment of inertia of the beam section
- Enter the value of Young's modulus (E) of the beam material (e.g., steel 200 GPa)
- Members tab:
- Add the bars connecting each node by selecting them from the drop-down list
- Remember to avoid situations where two bars overlap
- Assign a cross section for the bar from the drop-down list
- Add Supports (Supports Tab)
- Select a support type and insert it at any node on the beam. Available support types include:
- Pin support
- Roller support
- Fixed Support (Cantilever/Rigid)
- Placement: Click "Add" to visualize the support on the real-time beam diagram.
- Select a support type and insert it at any node on the beam. Available support types include:
- Apply Loads (Loads Tab)
- Select a load type and insert it at any node on the beam. Available load types include:
- Point Load: Concentrated forces at any position.
- Bending Moment: Applied external moments.
- Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL): Constant pressure over a span.
- Finalize: Fill in the magnitudes and click "Add" to update the loading diagram.
- The load will be added to the beam diagram drawing
- Select a load type and insert it at any node on the beam. Available load types include:
- Verify Data: Double-check your inputs. Use the "Edit" button to adjust any load or support instantly.
- Generate Results: Click "Solve" to process the calculations.
- You will be taken to a new page with the results for your task.
2D beam FEM application - modern support in structural analysis
The FEM Beam 2D application is not only a quick analysis, but also a valuable educational and design tool. Thanks to graph generation and precise calculations, the user gets a complete picture of the structure's performance under different types of loads. The integrated static determinability check avoids errors already at the modeling stage, and the intuitive interface makes the tool accessible also to novice users.
Both engineering students and professional designers use the solution. The ability to export results to files facilitates the creation of technical documentation.
FEM Beam 2D allows you to instantly generate diagrams of internal forces, such as shear forces, bending moments. The results are presented in graphical form, making it easier to understand the operation of the system and supporting design decisions. Everything is done in real time, based on the data entered by the user - which significantly speeds up work and reduces the risk of errors.
With this tool, you gain access to complete internal force diagrams and full control over input data. Dynamic editing, the ability to save results and access to theoretical knowledge make this application a practical support for both professional and academic work. Find out how efficiently you can conduct engineering analysis with the help of modern FEM software!
