Symposium Technical Description

Educational iPad app on structural mechanics

Submitted by Julian J. Rimoli on
I would like to share with fellow mechanicians an educational iPad app I recently developed. The name of the app is Truss Me! and the main goal is to help students, all the way from high school to college, to build intuition on how truss structures behave. The video below highlights some features of the app:
 
The app utilizes state of the art simulation techniques to provide the most realistic behavior for the structures.
