Looking for a simple beam / frame analysis program (free)
Looking for a simple beam / frame analysis program (free)
(OP)
Does anyone know of a free available program for analysing simple 2D beams / frames? Preferably one with a graphical interface and not just an excel spreadsheet. I'm sure I've come accross one in the past but cannot find any free ones on the net at the moment.
Would be grateful for any help.
Thanks

Ease up. You are assuming the OP's intentions without any background.
OP:
I recommend either RISA2D or Ftool which have both been stated previously.

If you want to trial software to see if it is worth purchasing then contact the companies directly. Almost all provide a free demo version. This is different from an educational license.

Free 2D frame analysis (also 3D frame analysis:
Frame4
They are both spreadsheets, but that to my mind makes them more useful and more versatile than an application with a fixed graphic interface anyway.
