Engineering Load-Path Lab
Change span, load, and support count to see how an idealized structure distributes force.
1
GoalSee how load, span and supports change a simple structure.
2
Try thisMove one slider at a time. Start by doubling the load, then add a support.
3
Watch forWatch the reaction per support and the moment proxy change.
Simple-beam moment proxy: 72.0 kN·m
What this model does — and does not do
Concept model only. It is not a structural design, safety check, or substitute for an engineer.
Inputs stay in this page and reset when you close or reset the lab.
