Beam Analysis
Analysis of a single beam subject to transvers and distributed load

Length 12.00 m
Area 1.00 m2 Cross Sectional Area
I 8.333E-02 m4 2nd Moment of Area
E 20000000 kPa Young's Modulus

Applied Loads
For distributed loads specify position of the start or the load, the load intensity at the start and end, and the load len
For Point loads and moments specify the position and magnitude
Point load direction is either "X" (axial) or "Y" (transverse)
