Are any of you experiencing problems with display of the screens of TomBeam, specifically like, too large to fit monitor screen? Refer to my suggestions to change scale to 110% in Settings and a resolution of 1760 X 990 under "Reviews" on this site.

I encourage discussion of beam topics, for example, the added flexibility of shear deformation energy which most finite element piping programs take account of. You can turn this option on or off in TomBeam's <run setup=""> <incl shear="" deformation="">. Selecting this option translates to greater magnitude deflection of the beam when shear deformation is accounted for. The calculation of gravity-direction deflections becomes complicated because shear deformations propagate down the beam with a different phenomenon of rotational deflection than that seen with Bernoulli flexural-only bending. The support reactions can change in a multi-span beam when shear deformation is accounted for as compared to flexure alone.</incl></run>
