Thanks for your reply Nigel, this is a small and quite easy finite element code. I knew that Fem analysis would solve my problem (i currently work with fem analysis in my company), but i was looking for something much easier and faster just to determine reactions and draw bending moment diagram...
need software for calculation of stresses and reactions on some beam assembly (not the easy beam on two supports..). preferibly distributed for free or shareware.<br>Does anyone have suggestions?<br>thanks to all

Having a bolted flange for heavy applications subjected to bending due to an external load i determined the loaction of the neutral axis through the Reinforced concrete structure theory. This method DOES NOT allow to consider the bolt preload. The life prediction of the bolts is anyway pretty...
