I am doing elevated PY shop drawing. There is a detail with inflection point at 0.1*L from center of column. Is there any way to calculation the profile at inflection point. Please help me on this. If spread sheet is available that would be great. Anybody please?
 
It depends on the loading. The inflection point only indicates where there is a change in the moment diagram from +ve to -ve, and is totally independent from the slope at that point.

I have no idea what you are asking. What is a PY shop drawing?
 
I don't know if it's still available, but Yakpol had an excellent excel file for beam design... I've used it for decades, and with his permission, I've modified a copy of it for my own use.
