🏗️ FabCheck: Structural FEA

Design, Analyze, and Build with Confidence. 🛠️ FabCheck is a powerful 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and structural design tool built specifically for engineers, fabricators, and builders. Whether you are designing a complex steel truss, checking beam deflections, or planning a custom frame, FabCheck provides a rapid, intuitive, tablet-optimized workflow right on your mobile device. 📱

Draw your structures, apply loads, instantly visualize structural behaviors, and generate complete fabrication cut-lists in seconds. ⚡

⚙️ CORE FEATURES:

• 📐 Intuitive 2D Modeling: Rapidly draw nodes and continuous beams with precision grid-snapping.

• 🏋️ Comprehensive Load Engine: Apply point loads, uniform distributed loads (UDL), and varying loads (UVL) in local or global directions. Calculate thermal expansion/contraction with temperature change (ΔT) inputs.

• 🔒 Advanced Boundary Conditions: Easily set fixed, pinned, or roller supports, apply support settlements, and assign moment releases (hinges) to beam ends.

• 🔲 Extensive Section Library & Custom Shapes: Choose from built-in standard libraries or generate exact properties for custom profiles (RHS, Pipe, I-Beam, Channel, Angle). Directly input custom Area, Inertia, and Young's Modulus values.

• 📊 Real-Time FEA Visualizations: Instantly view highly accurate, scaled Bending Moment, Shear, and Axial force diagrams. Visualize exaggerated deflection shapes and view detailed support reaction vectors.

• 🏗️ LRFD Load Combinations: Toggle Strength Design (LRFD) mode and apply custom load factors for Dead, Live, Wind, and Snow load combinations.

• 📝 Fabrication Ready (BOM): Automatically group and calculate required beam lengths to generate an instant Bill of Materials (BOM) / Cut List. Export your cut list directly to a highly formatted PDF or CSV for the workshop floor.

• ⚖️ Weight Estimation: Calculate total structure weight instantly, with options to include or exclude self-weight in your analysis.

• 📏 Unit Agnostic: Seamlessly toggle between Metric (m, mm, N, kg) and Imperial (ft, in, lbf, lbs) unit systems.

🎯 RECOMMENDED TARGET AUDIENCE:

• 🚙 Overland DIY Groups & Off-Road Fabricators: The perfect tool for overland DIY groups and builders creating custom roof racks, truck bed frames, rock sliders, and canopy campers who need to ensure their steel or aluminum weldments can handle dynamic loads on the trail.

• 🎓 Structural & Mechanical Engineering Students: University students who need a portable, visual tool to check their hand calculations for statics, mechanics of materials, and structural analysis homework.

• 🏭 Professional Steel Fabricators & Welders: Workshop managers and draftsmen who need a quick way to verify beam sizing on the shop floor and instantly generate accurate PDF cut-lists for their team.

• 🏛️ Architects & Draftspersons: Professionals who need to perform preliminary span checks and sizing for lintels, joists, and rafters before sending plans to the primary structural engineer.

• 🔨 DIY Makers & Home Builders: Hobbyists building workbenches, gantry cranes, shed trusses, or heavy-duty shelving who want the peace of mind that their design is structurally sound.
