Field notes
The canvas offers starting templates for simply supported beams, cantilevers, portal frames and trusses, plus controls for supports, hinges, point forces and distributed loads. The page says models are stored locally unless users explicitly share a link, and supports JSON import and export. Its 14 worked examples and 55 automated comparisons are described as selected-case regression benchmarks, not certification.
