💡 POWER USER TIPS
🎯 Cantilever for balconies/sunshades | Fixed-Fixed for 4× stiffness | Simply Supported for floors
📐 Increase depth (not width) — I ∝ h³ (doubling depth = 8× stiffer!)
🔩 S355 Steel: Economical | Aluminum 6061: 1/3 weight | Duplex 2205: Corrosion-proof
🤖 AI Advisor Examples: "Balcony beam 500kg over 3m, C24 timber" or "Steel I-beam, 10m, 20 kN/m UDL, L/600"
📄 Pro Tip: Run Beam Optimizer before finalizing — it often finds lighter, safer dimensions!
