So in my quest this morning to find some steel design information so that I could run the math for a beam I was working on, I found the following site:
http://www.efunda.com/formulae/solid_mechanics/beams/casestudy_beamtypes.cfm
It's a nifty calculator to calculate some of the forces on simple beams and cantilevers. Easy to use, though it would be nice if it had more loading conditions.
After browsing the web there are a few other locations that are of use as well:
http://www.wdv.com/Software/BeamCALC/
Allows several different tests for simply supported beams and cantilevers and a purchase seems to allow more scenarios.

a variety of solutions including ones for automation. some are available online, some you need to download. It is free for 30 days, but the cost is reasonable.
