Optimal Beam vs PocketStatics
A side-by-side look at Optimal Beam and PocketStatics. For an in-depth review of either product, follow the links below.
Optimal Beam
Development
Optimal Beam is open-source software for structural design optimization. It enables engineers to find optimal designs for beams and other structures by specifying design constraints, variables, objectives, and algorithms. The software interfaces with common analysis programs and features multi-objective optimization and parallelization.
