| The Deflection Calculations section
gives you the tools to calculate the expected deflection of beams, given
known lengths and loads. It will also take into account deflection under
the beam's own weight. |
|
|
| To use this tool, select the profile you wish
to evaluate (you can also input or open data for a User Defined Beam),
input the Length of the beams, and the load you intend to place on it. |
|

|
|
|
|
| Click the Calculate
Deflection button,
and it will calculate the deflection (in both metric and fractional units
of measure) for all three visually represented deflection modes, and also
for loading in either the X or Y-axis of the beam. After the deflection is calculated, you have the option to Generate
a Deflection Report by picking Reports/Create Deflection Report from
the menu.

| The Column Loading Calculations section gives
you the tools to calculate the expected Critical Buckling Load of a column
given the known length of the column. From there, you will need to apply an
appropriate Safety Factor to that value before applying the analysis to
your design. |

|
|
| To use this tool, select the profile
you wish to evaluate (you can also input or open data for a User Defined
Beam), and input the Length of the column. Then select the upper and lower
End Conditions for your column.
The Column Style is listed and the K Value is calculated as the End
Conditions are selected.
Click the Calculate
Critical Buckling Load button, and it will calculate
the Effective Length of the Column, The Critical Slenderness Ratio, the
Effective Slenderness Ratio, and the Critical Buckling Load for the select
column.
After the Critical Buckling Load is calculated, you have the option
to Generate a Deflection Report by picking Reports/Create Column
Loading Report from the menu.
