Description

BeamChek is an intuitive structural design software tailored for architects, engineers, home designers, and contractors, delivering rapid and precise calculations for beams, joists, rafters, and columns. It accommodates a variety of materials, including steel, wood, timber, and composite, enabling users to analyze different load scenarios and choose from 57 wood species or enter their own custom values. With its user-friendly interface and instant diagram features, the software streamlines the design process by providing thorough boundary checks and error detection. BeamChek is sold as a one-time purchase and includes complimentary technical support, ensuring users have help when needed. The software minimizes the need to navigate through complex menus, offers common default settings, and reduces the back-and-forth between forms. It maintains consistent input methods for beam applications and conditions, allowing for more efficient selections with additional buttons for frequently used settings. Consequently, this leads to less typing and quicker outcomes. Users can also compare acceptable beams across two species groups and grades before making a final decision on member width, depth, or grade, enhancing their overall design experience. This comprehensive functionality makes BeamChek a valuable tool for anyone involved in structural design.

Description

Framing serves as a versatile design tool tailored for timber frame and floor construction, addressing the evolving demands of the contemporary offsite construction sector. It is widely adopted by timber frame producers, structural engineers, and design firms, facilitating the creation of detailed 3D models for timber frame structures, which in turn generates thorough material schedules and manufacturing drawings suitable for both manual assembly and direct integration with industry-standard automated machinery and saws. The software excels in detailing a variety of timber frame building styles, and although it primarily operates within a 2D context, it efficiently constructs a 3D model based on user specifications, enabling straightforward verification of levels and heights throughout the process. This capability enhances accuracy and streamlines workflow, making Framing an essential resource in modern construction practices.
