SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the free iPad app "Sketch a Frame," designed for educational purposes in structural engineering. This app utilizes Finite Element Method (FEM) beam elements to visually demonstrate the distribution of moment, normal force, and normal tension in various constructions. It is user-friendly and encourages a playful approach to learning without relying on numerical data. The app is available for download on the Apple App Store.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Finite Element Method (FEM) principles
  • Basic knowledge of structural engineering concepts
  • Familiarity with iOS app usage
  • Interest in educational tools for engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced FEM techniques for structural analysis
  • Research educational apps in engineering for iPad
  • Learn about user interface design for educational applications
  • Investigate the impact of interactive learning tools on engineering education
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for structural engineers, educators in engineering fields, app developers focusing on educational tools, and students seeking interactive learning resources in structural analysis.

I have just finished my master thesis developing an iPad app for educational purposes. It's completely free and it can be used to solve problems using FEM beam elements, intuitive to use and works in a playful way without any numbers just to help users get a feel for different constructions and how the moment, normal force and normal tension are distributed.

Would be nice to hear what you think of it. You can find it under the name "Sketch a Frame" or using the below link:

Thank you!
