Beam Analysis Calculator with Natural Language Explanations

This Space implements a deterministic engineering calculator for a simply-supported beam with a central point load.
It shows (i) numerical results and (ii) a natural-language explanation grounded in the computed values.

Scope and assumptions

• Simply-supported beam, central point load
• Square cross-section, linear elastic material
• Strength check against yield; serviceability check against L/360 deflection

Inputs and ranges

• Beam length L: 0.5–10.0 m
• Square side a: 0.01–0.5 m
• Load P: 0.1–100 kN
• Elastic modulus E: 50–300 GPa
• Yield strength Sy: 100–1000 MPa

Outputs

• Max stress, max deflection, allowable deflection
• Factors of safety (yield, deflection)
• Pass/fail checks and overall verdict

Explanation pipeline

A compact language model (SmolLM2-135M-Instruct) consumes the structured record from the calculator and produces a concise explanation.
The prompt enforces grounding and avoids introducing numbers beyond what was computed.
