Engineering Calculator — Field Instrument
Run a small beam check without hiding the inputs and assumptions that shape the result.
Quick engineering checks become hard to inspect when inputs, formulas, units, and caveats are scattered across separate calculators.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
A compact illustrative check needed to show the scenario, formula, result, and boundary conditions as one instrument.
After
The live demo recalculates synthetic beam-load scenarios in the browser while keeping its non-certification disclaimer visible.
How it's solved
Built a field-instrument UI with selectable load cases, labeled numeric inputs, simply-supported beam readout, formula display, audit notes, and a clear educational boundary.
Trade-offs
The model is illustrative and limited to a simple beam formula; it is not engineering approval or a substitute for qualified review.
