Crane Beam Design Software - Features Figure 1

Some of the software options:

Designs or analyzes any I shape beam or any cap channel and beam combination

Design based on ASD, AISC 1989 edition and AISE report 13

Beam can be a hot rolled section or three plate I shape girder

Hot rolled section can be Wide Flange or Standard Beam

Plate girder can have unequal flanges to optimize design

Beam can be run with or without cap channel

Calculates any beam cross section combination

Calculates actual wheel load

Fatigue design, calculates stress ranges and design for it

Weld design, continues or intermittent weld

Deflection design, calculate actual deflections and report them

Calculates actual reaction bearing requirements

Designs for any steel yield stress

Designs end stiffeners as needed or force stiffener design

Uses your wheel load or the program's

Can change the combined stress factor ratio

Checks the clearance between beam top flange and cap channel (figure 2)

Recommends standard deflection limits, which can also be overridden

Recommends standard impact factors for different crane systems

Crane systems

Monorail

Under-hung

Top running, including cab or pendant operation

Clamshell bucket, magnet, ladle, stacker systems and more

Has two different impact factors for single crane and multiple crane bridge cases

Handles and runs up to four different crane bridges at the same time

Every crane bridge can carry up to two different hoists fig. 3

Every crane bridge can have two or four wheels at end truck. (figure 3)

Figure 3



Handles up to 16 moving loads at the same time

User can customize and change all data files to best fit their needs

The Load Data option loads crane bridge information from data files

The only one of its kind on the market

Can modify all crane data files to fit your needs, files such as:

Wide flange sections.

American standard sections.

Channel sections.

Girder flange plates.

Girder web plates.

Rail beam sections.

Crane data for top running, under hung and monorail systems.
