Welcome to BeamSolver   Copyright (c) Gerald Bechen 1995

        Beamsolver is a GUI driven engineering application that 
        allows the user to calculate the solution for any of 
        nine different common beam configurations. The user can 
        input (or select) a beam's cross section, length, load
        type, and material properties, and then quickly calculate 
        the beam retraint and shear forces, bending moments, 
        stresses in the beam, and beam displacements.
   
   
     *  BeamSolver has been tested on:  A1000, A1200, A3000 and
        should run on any Amiga with OS 2.0+ w/1MB CHIP/1MB FAST RAM.

     *  Install Beamsolver by copying its drawer to wherever you
        like. To use it double click on its icon, or issue the 
        command "Beamsolver" from the CLI. 
          
         BeamSolver is an Engineering tool, intended to be used 
         by persons who have been adequately trained or have 
         otherwise become familiar with the engineering principles 
         related to BeamSolver. Documentation included with the 
         BeamSolver Software is primarily intended to acquaint 
         casual users with concepts they should become familiar 
         with before implementing a completed beam design. 
         

   The Beamsolver distribution file is named "BeamSolver1.lha" and 
   includes the following files:

         Beamsolver1                    Beamsolver1.guide
         Beamsolver1.info               Beamsolver1.guide.info
         Cantc_card.iff                 ffc_card.iff
         Cantu_card.iff                 ffu_card.iff
         fsc_card.iff                   ssc_card.iff
         fsu_card.iff                   ssu_card.iff
         Contu_card.iff                 Cantc.iff
         Stress.iff                     readme.txt                     
  
   After decompressing the "BeamSolver1.lha" file, all of the
   above files should reside in a drawer labeled "BeamSolver".
