Overview

Four Editions. One Proven Analysis Platform.

Every Cbeam2026 edition begins with the proven continuous-beam analysis foundation engineers have trusted for years: intuitive visual modeling, on-the-fly model modifications, reactions, shear, moments, stresses, and deflections, multiple load and support conditions, and clear graphical diagrams with concise engineering reports.

Cbeam2026 adds dynamic metric conversion, capacity validation, enhanced annotations, workflow automation, professional reporting, and integrated database capabilities, depending on the edition selected.

The Cbeam2026 advantage: Less time building models. More time engineering solutions.

Editions

Choose the Edition Built for the Way You Work

Cbeam2026 is offered in four editions, sharing the same continuous-beam analysis foundation but organized around different levels of use: occasional modeling, daily engineering analysis, firm-wide production, and a limited single-user version of the integrated production workflow.

Cbeam Integrated LT

A limited integrated platform for a single-user production environment.
Designed for users who need custom database utilization, standardized recall, and repeatable integrated workflow but do not require the model capacity of the full Integrated edition.
  • Model build limit: 10 members and 5 supports

Important distinction

Integrated is the full production-scale platform. Integrated LT is the limited version of that integrated platform — it is not a fifth tier or a more advanced edition above Integrated.

Enhancements

Update Info

In addition to the Cbeam R5 key features (left), the 2021 update release offers additional benefits (right) that aide the user in new computation methods, design parameter reviews, and expanded report notations in the viewer beam report.

Within the same intuitive interface, the user can take advantage of the Design Parameters tab to compare computed results to defined deflection, and stress limits; report deadload reaction magnitude for applicable levels and SMART labeling on the viewer model.

Insights

Highlights

Comprehensive Graphical Reviews, Material Properties, and Batch Plotting Features
Review of shear, moment and deflection diagrams
Varying elasticity values for material selections
Built in steel and aluminum database for member section properties

Updates

Update Features

Enhanced Design, Load Calculations, and Auto-Generated Callouts

Allows for design criteria input

Calculates Deadload based on defined unit weights and member length

Reactions displayed at each support location

Auto-generated callouts are published on a beam diagram

Interface Overview

Cbeam Interface

The Cbeam interface offers an intuitive platform for analyzing structural members. Users can review shear, moment, and deflection diagrams graphically, assign material elasticity values, access a built-in steel and aluminum properties database, and generate batch plots with sequential page numbering for streamlined reporting and documentation.

Graphical Reviews

Graphical review of shear, moment and deflection diagrams, and a standalone viewer to format and print out selected loading diagram options

Elasticity

Varying elasticity values for material selections (aluminum, steel or user defined). Reinforcing lengths can be optimized for exact lengths and stiffness/material required.

Properties Database

Built in steel and aluminum database for member section properties. Metric units supported with instant toggle on/off conversion from English/Metric or Metric/English

Batch

Batch plotting available along with user defined data and sequential page numbering to aid in package assembly.

New Feature

Parameter Dialog

Define Beam Deflection Criteria

  • Define Beam Deflection L/Ratio or L/Ratio + content
  • Define Maximum Value (in tandem with Ratio)

Define Stress Allowable for Primary Beam and Reinforcement

  • Red highlight print if Deflection- Stress > Allowables

Define Windload and Deadload Criteria

  • Defined Parameters used to populate notations and results
  • Computes evaluation of actuals to allowables limits
  • Determines TW (Tri Width) based on actual loadings
  • Computes Vertical reactions

Update Feature

Results Summary Compared To Design Limited

Cbeam Calculates Deadload based on defined unit weights and member length determination by means of SMART icons defined by beam diagram

  • Deadload reaction calculated per defined design parameters (Module Width x Beam Length x Design Deadload)
  • WL- Only and WL/DL Supports are determined with SMART labeling of the support icons
  • Splice/Hinge locations by default determine the beam length for DL computation

Update Feature

Beam Annotations

Splice and Floor Callouts are published on Beam Diagram

  • Cbeam will auto-generate floor labels at supports (i.e. Level 1, Level 2, etc..) and splice labels at hinges to document the beam diagram
  • Splice and Floor Callouts can be edited in the Cbeam viewer or Toggled off to not be shown
  • SMART Icon use is critical for accuracy of reaction computations - User defined icons, trigger lengths, and accuracy of vertical load calculations

Update Feature

Enhanced Viewer Notations and Auto-Labeling

Windload and Deadload Reactions

Reactions are published at the support locations on the beam diagram
  • Displayed at each support/level location
  • Horizontal and Vertical reaction values

Smart Icon Notation

Drives Member Length and Deadload Evaluation
  • Proper Use of support and hinge icons drives
