📝 About this app

Deflection is a powerful, versatile calculator for beams, 2D trusses, and 2D frames.  The interface is simple and intuitive, and the graphical output is state-of-the-art.  In addition to reaction, shear, bending moment, and deflection results, Deflection also computes internal shear and bending stress along the cross section and along the beam.

2D FRAME AND TRUSS EDITOR

The 2D editor is seamlessly integrated with the beam editor.  Draw arbitrary frame and truss structures and apply loads and constraints using the same simple interface as for beams.… View full description on the official store →
