It is observable that simulation results compare closely but CABDA gives exact results and therefore is very appropriate for simple beam problems.

Average bending stress error recorded is-0.19 for simulation. Average deflection errors recorded for steel beam are-0.4 and-0.015 for brass beam are-0.69 and-0.1 for experiment and simulation respectively. Experiments and simulations have been carried out for steel and brass rectangular beams which were compared with results obtained from CABDA for the same beam model. The algorithm is based on analytic equations of beam deflection and bending stress theories a design flow chart and graphic user interface were done to implement the algorithm. To reduce or eliminate these issues, a computational tool, CABDA, has been designed and developed on matlab. Beam deflection and stress calculations can be cumbersome and results from commercial simulation packages are not devoid of truncation and/or round-off errors because they are based on numerical schemes. It is pertinent to know the structural integrity of the design before construction or fabrication. are regularly designed and constructed in the field of mechanical and civil engineering. Beam-like members such as shafts, levers, frame components, beam structures, etc.
