Steel Structural Design

Deflection Check

Steel beam deflection check using the 3D chord-rotation method, connected live to SAP2000. Automatic cantilever detection and Physical-Member grouping.

Key features

  • <b>Relative check</b> L/δ by the 3D chord-rotation method
  • <b>Absolute check</b> on U3 (mm) when a fixed deflection limit is required
  • <b>Automatic cantilever detection</b>
  • <b>Auto Create Groups</b> from Physical-Member detection
  • Reads auto-mesh nodes so meshed beams are still checked correctly
  • Quick selection of many load cases/combos; clicking a group highlights it in SAP2000
  • <b>Show NG only</b> filter with colour coding in the results table
  • Exports Excel (.xlsx) and TXT into the SAP model folder
