Description
Deflection Pro is an advanced structural analysis calculator for beam, truss, and frame design. The software is designed to be simple, intuitive, and useful for structural engineers worldwide. Like our other apps, it is designed to run on all your devices.
LOAD COMBINATIONS
Deflection Pro generates common load combinations based on American and European standards. Simply select a desired design method in the settings page and assign a category to each load. The results are seamlessly aggregated and integrated into the same charts and interface as if you were designing a simple beam case.
BEAM COLUMN CAPACITY CHECKS
Deflection Pro calculates beam column strength capacity for flexure, shear, tension, and compression based on the AISC specification. The software accurately reproduces tabulated values in steel construction manuals.
Flexure Design
• Yielding
• Lateral torsional buckling
• Local buckling
• Flange local buckling
• Compression flange local buckling
• Web local buckling
• Compression tee stem local buckling
Shear Design
• Web shear strength
• Web shear strength, considering field action
Tension Design
• Yielding tensile strength
• Rupture tensile strength
Compression Design
• Flexural buckling
• Torsional buckling
OTHER FEATURES
Since this is our latest and greatest structural analysis app, we are actively improving it and adding new functionality. It receives more frequent updates than other tiers of our software.
Other advanced functionality include the ability to directly export to PDF and to save to an external file for backup and sharing.

What’s New
Version 9.0.0
• NEW: Generate common US and EU load combinations using Allowable Stress Design, Load Resistance Factor Design, or Partial Safety Factors. Use the Document Options panel to select a design method, and then assign each load to a category using the load list view. Load combinations are automatically generated beneath the beam editor. All diagrams automatically aggregate and display results for all combinations. Select a combination card to zoom in the diagrams for that combination. When ASD is selected, the app uses safety factors (eg, 1.67) for limit states. When LRDF or Partial Safety Factors is selected, the app uses resistance factors (eg, 0.9) for limit states.
Ratings and Reviews
Missing units
Dear developer.
I'd like to express my gratitude for this straightforward and valuable app. I'd like to bring to your attention that in Europe, the standard unit for stress is (N/mm^2), which currently isn't available in the app's settings. Would it be possible to include this unit in the list of stress units?
Once more, thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Developer Response ,
This means a lot, and we really appreciate it. Although we already have MPa, which equals 1 N/mm^2, we've added N/mm^2 as part of the upcoming 8.0.0 release.
2nd review important problem
This app does not consider lateral support of the beam compression flange. This is a serious omission if used by someone that is not knowledgeable with beam design such as architects, construction people, engineering students, etc.
At least one app in the App Store does take this in consideration and that is the “Steel Beams” app. However it does not have all the bells an whistles of Deflection Pro.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for pointing out this important detail! It took some time and effort to get here, but the upcoming 8.0.0 version (this week) will feature an implementation of the AISC specification, including compression flange buckling and other relevant checks for beams and columns. You will be able to compute flexural strength by entering the unbraced length Lb value. Of course, we've added more bells and whistles too. :)
Migrate models?
I’ll return and increase the rating if I learn from the developer how to see my models from the regular version.
