BmCalc – A Beam Calculator

What is BmCalc?

BmCalc is a lightweight online beam calculator developed by AAES. It helps students, researchers, and professional engineers quickly compute shear forces, bending moments, and support reactions for common beam configurations. BmCalc also generates simple calculation reports that you can download and keep for reference.

Whether you’re checking a study problem, preparing a classroom example, or doing quick preliminary sizing for a project, BmCalc makes it fast and reliable.

What is a Beam Calculator?

A beam calculator is a structural analysis tool that allows you to input spans, loads, and supports and instantly obtain results such as:

• Shear force diagrams (V)

• Bending moment diagrams (M)

• Reaction forces at supports

Instead of manually going through equations or drawing diagrams, BmCalc provides instant results, helping you focus on design decisions rather than repetitive math.

How to Use BmCalc?

• Choose your beam type (simply supported, fixed, cantilever, etc.)

• Enter span length, support conditions, and applied loads (point or distributed).

• Click Calculate.

• Instantly view shear force and bending moment results.

• Generate a simple calculation report that can be exported or printed.

Features

• Quick Calculations: Instantly compute shear and bending moment values for simple beams.

• Support for Multiple Loads: Add different types of loads (point, uniform, or combinations).

• Shear & Moment Diagrams: Visualize structural response clearly.

• Report Generation: Create simple PDF or text reports for documentation.

• Accessible Anywhere: Works directly in your web browser, no installation required.
