Can anyone tell me if there are MathCad files that deal with general solutions of bending beams?
I am looking for a flexible solution of pinned end and simply supported beams with a variable number of supports.
If possible, the loading should be variable as well (discrete point loads at variable positions and/or distributed loads).
The MathCad file might also be able to make the shear and moment diagrams.

Well you can buy the electronic version of Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers which comes in pdf format and have embedded mathcad.

Try this site:

There are several beam solutions in the Civil section.

Or buy Roark and Young for MathCAD?: very cheap in the USA

Or write as standard sheet, based on established formulae
