Frequently asked questions
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription anytime.

Can I add my company logo to reports?
Custom company logo reports are included in the Professional plan.
What is Optimal AI?
Optimal AI provides AI-enhanced model setup and assistance in both Beam Calculator and 2D Structural Analysis. It is included with Professional.
What happens after the Free Explorer trial?
Your account stays active. Core Beam and 2D modeling and force results remain available, while premium diagrams, 2D displacement and load workflows, cloud saving, reports, AI, and 2D history are locked until you subscribe.
What happens to my saved models if I downgrade or cancel?
Your saved projects remain associated with your account and can still be listed and opened. New cloud saves and revisions require an active plan, and 2D project source can be downloaded as JSON.
Do you offer company or business options?
Yes. Use the Business / Custom Quote form if your company needs multiple licenses, invoicing, onboarding, or a custom subscription discussion.
Is Optimal Beam a replacement for engineering judgment?
Optimal Beam helps with beam analysis, diagrams, and reports, but users are responsible for reviewing results and applying professional engineering judgment.
