Error in beam calculation?

[sgrove]

In Composite Design 2014, I get the same calculated deflection for 'S-S Point' and 'F-F Point' boundary conditions.  Hand calculation suggests that S-S is correct and F-F is wrong.  Any suggestions/comments please...?

If possible, please give us some more information on your bending problem setup and we can try to investigate.  I just did an example problem myself and I see large differences with 'S-S Point' and 'F-F Point' for the deflection.

Thanks

I've just installed 2015 on a re-imaged PC and there's no obvious problem. Seems to be a 2014 issue. Can send output if you want...
