What it does
FERS provides browser calculators for section properties, beams, frames and selected structural checks.
FERS provides free browser calculators for sections, beams and frames. Its cantilever tool takes span, stiffness/section properties and point, distributed, moment or axial loads, with SI/US unit controls and an optional root rotation spring. It returns reactions, shear/moment, tip deformation and an elastic stress ratio, with CSV/SVG/PNG downloads and a share link. The model is linear elastic Euler–Bernoulli with small deflections and no shear deformation. It does not check lateral-torsional/local buckling or connections, and stress divided by yield strength is not a member design check. Choose the intended L or 2L convention for a deflection ratio. Basic use needs no sign-up; generating a report requires a free account.
