Beam Design software for Mac

[Anonymous]

Is there any Mac software I can use for simple beam design. I don't want anything fancy or even all that integrated with ArchiCad.

A simple beam machine is all I want.

Free (or REALLY cheap!) would be good too.

You could always test upgrading your Archicad. You can model any beam with the custom profiles.

I believe our colleague means to calculate the beam, not merely model it....

I don't think so. Fortunately, when you get an intel Mac you can use the free beam software from TrussJoist via Parallel desktop, but not integrated with AC.

I figured... but to know I'd have to ask, since I'm not psychic

So what are you looking for, drawings, calcs or both?

Dear Todd:
Update the IMac with an Intel and I can get you set up!

For professional use, cheap is always too expensive
