I don’t know how ClearCalcs tracks these posts, but can one of the developers review my “Option to ignore short cantilevers” thread in the Feature Request section and advise on two possible bugs?
One, the output deflection check is not correctly reflecting when a “2L/XXX” check is made. It only shows “L/XXX” even when the 2L option is selected.
Two, the governing short-term live load deflection results are not changing at all when a dead load is placed at the tip of a cantilevered joist. I get that ClearCalcs is trying to generate the deflection result as if it is checking the middle of a clear span, or similar, but that approach cannot be applied to a cantilever with a dead tip load on it. The deflection result is a nonsense result.
