XBeam2d is powerful structural analysis and design software
XBeam2d is the MOST intuitive structural analysis and design software for steel, concrete or wooden beams on multiple supports and/or beds. The user interface ensures fluid performance and enables fast input of your structure. The program is extremely easy to use (even without reading the manual first), intuitive, modern and incredibly fast.
User friendly and modern
By using the wizard you are able to generate your steel, concrete or wooden beam, continuous over several supports fast and easy. XBeam2d calculates your beam in a instant. The program is extremely easy to use, intuitive, modern and very fast.
Powerful engine
XBeam2d has a very powerful mechanics solver that allows you fast geometrically linear (GL first-order analysis) calculations.
EN 1993 steel design module
XBeam2d has a fully integrated Eurocode EN 1993 steel design module. Steel test / design rules according to the newest / latest European standards. You are up-to-date with the latest standards.
There is a Steel Optimization module built in that allows you to quickly and easily create the most optimal steel design. You can save a lot of steel kilos with this.
EN 1992 concrete design module
Concrete beam grids / Piled concrete foundations.
XBeam2d has a fully integrated Eurocode EN 1992-1-1 concrete module which allows you to design and check the reinforcement. You are also able to interactively change all your reinforcement, longitudinal primary and secondary reinforcement, and stirrups as well. Fast and easy. The concrete beams will be checked completely after every input change. The calculation is complete: checks in Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Service Limit State (SLS). Almost any cross-section shape with or without a concrete layer; reinforcement in 2 layers; compression reinforcement; accurate long-term deflection calculation; detailed calculation report.
EN 1995 timber design module
XBeam2d has a fully integrated Eurocode EN 1995 timber design module. Timber test / design rules according to the newest / latest European standards. You are up-to-date with the latest standards.
In the serviceability limit state (BGT) XBeam2d calculates all directly occurring deformations and deformations due to creep. Creep deformations are determined at a quasi-permanent load combination where per beam the long duration and short duration properties are taken into account.
Unique transparent calculation output
All required and used EN formulas and equations are fully displayed and written out, including actual parameters and references to the Eurocode. In our program the calculation with outcome is obvious. XBeam2d creates a fully transparent calculation report. Being an engineer you will be able to check the produced calculation manually and easily. That will give you confidence! Each inspecting authority will accept your calculation without any problem since the report is obvious for all.
