Autodesk ForceEffect

Great ap really forward thinking its a great tool for getting a rough order magnitude before going in with heavier software When I looked at the reports had flashbacks to mechanics of solidsstructural analysis If this is what smaller front end software can bring us bring more                 Great tool

Good product prevents subtle errors over constrained unit errors math errors graphical report is good works well with photossketching Difficult to build symmetric structures a mirror function and orthogonal construction tool would both be helpful              Force Effect

Amazing                 YOLO

A must have for civil engineering students                 SOOO HELPFUL

Its justso beautiful                 Love at first moment diagram

What a wonderful tool As an engineering professor who frequently teaches Statics and Mechanics of Materials I think this is a wonderful tool to teach my students about trusses frames and beams It helps me generate teaching and practice problems and it helps me demonstrate concepts to students who are struggling with analyzing trusses or constructing shear and moment diagrams I would love it if the program could handle other types of distributed loads perhaps a linearly or parabolically increase along the length of a beam It would make a great program even better Also a great next step would be the ability to enter the modulus of elasticity and moment of inertia for the member and have the app calculate the deflection along with the internal shear force and moment Perhaps in a future update Id find it a really useful teaching tool and its the logical next step once you have shear and moment diagrams Thanks for a great app                 Great teaching tool for statics

Very buggy poorly implemented user interface almost unusable     Buggy

Excelente produtomuito útil                 Excelente

support add comments on diagram              need more options

Love it a great app for civil engineering students and i constantly use it The only thing that lets it down is that it doesnt have a rolling fixed support which is a huge letdown at times              Needs more supports

App is very powerful However sharing and sharing reports in particular is lacking Also dragging points to rotate a structure performs very poorly jumping through large angles and prohibiting fine control           Overall good needs details

Thank you                 So helpful thank you

Its one the best apps My question is where was this app when I was in school                 Why

Works great Simple and quick                 Great APP

I havent used this much yet but it looks very quick to draw FBDs add loads and the program does all the calculating for you I plan to use this for my structural analysis class A must have                 quick and COOL

Great program for management checks on design outputs                 Great program for checking calls on

easy to use and very powerful for such a small device great job                 amazing

A great teaser for their money making programs Would be much better if you could duplicate your basic designs and save several versions with different loads or geometries for comparison              FroceEffect

Very Nice its willy work                 Show

A little hard to get the lengths right but this app is a HUGE help for my statics class              Awesome

This app as I see is just the beginning of a revolution First time an structural engineering app is designed humancentric When I showed it to few colleagues got negative response that they were smarter and did not need such an app for daily tasks Whatever this app can do simplistically they could pull it out of their mental acumen Anything that involved multiple load cases or redundant structures they will use more reliable and time tested software Or setup a excel spreadsheet or mathcad if the calculation is repetitive I love the app for its ability of the app to generate the reactions instantly generate a formal but consist report that can be tagged along with other calculations My argument is if it takes 10 minutes to solve something manually or 20 minutes to properly input and solve in other major software this app can be used to solve it in about a minute I have been using it since i discovered it and has saved the hassle of both setting up simple models or spreadsheets and or cleanup a autogenerated exhaustive reports I maintain software agnostic mindset but this app is great for me This is from Autodesk do we need to question their reliability                 Tip of the iceberg

This app allows for quick analysis of a structure Its great for engineering students and extremely easy to learn The system is streamlined and the user interface is easy to understand It can compute quickly produce accurate calculations and graph for bending moment and shear force                 Quick analytical software

Autodesk has done it again Love the stuff you keep coming up with Please keep it up                 Awesome product

Good                 Good

Application worked perfect with my projects Love it CE student at Rutgers University NJ                 Very helpful

As a civil engineer student this app helped me a lot Thanks autodesk                 Incridible

good                 good

This tool is great for any one looking to understand force interactions over simple and some some complex systems I use it regularly to supplement structural analysis problems Very simple and easy to use use The report tool is amazing It shows shearmoment diagrams for every member and accurately determines internal forces If you are an engineering student you must get this app It does have minor problems involving memory warningseven when plenty of memory is available but they are sporadic and hardly noticeable It also fails to readily show reactions as components in the xy coordinates which proves troublesome Large complex systems can cause crashes so be careful of that also Overall a great and very usefulhelpful app              Great supplement

Autodesk has done a great job I teach Statics this is a great tool The reports are also superb I would like to see an easier way to record angles on members                 Great App

Cheers                 Amazing

This is really great app for structural Engineers                 Great app for Engineers

This works well                 Very nice

This is one of the greatest apps I have ever found Perfect for performing simple statics problems                 Great Program

Works great for simple stuff I bet it could get pretty complex if you mess around with it                 Fantastic

As a mech e this is a nice tool to have although pretty basic I can imagine this to be a great solution checker for both students and real world problems first time I used it to do a quick check on a racking design I really like that you can superimpose your modeling on any image It has crashed on me several times              Neat app

Understanding and implementing the knowledge of mechanics of materials couldnt be easier with this software Its first necessary to use the principles of statics to determine the forces acting on members Its edifying                 Great tool of statics principle

Very handy highly recommend this                 Engineer

Buena aplicación útil para resolver problemas de armaduras de Estática intuitiva y genial                 Muy útil excelente

Im not an engineer yet but this is a great starting point to mess around with to figure out how things work Plus I can really see how this would help once you are an engineer Not a fan of the crashing though but it doesnt happen often              Great app

Great tool for quick checks You will have to get use to the sensitivity Be patient                 Very useful

This is the most exciting engineering app Ive seen Ive just started to play with it so Ive yet to really push the limits but from what Ive seen so far the UI is very intuitive I love how you can model ontop of a picture Things it is missing that would be aswesome to add cable tension or compression only members springs deflections including being able to apply your own forced deflection and 3D of course Space frames FTW In any rate you have a winner on your hands autodesk                 how is this free

It is so cool and helps me out                 Amazing

Great app for mechanical or civil engineering student This could be a good way to check your statics problems in homework or work                 Ipad Statics app great

I started using Force Effect for a statics class as we progressed through more complex material I have been using it to analyze different designs and perform what ifs for design modifications It has made my work much more efficient                 Force Effect makes analyzing what ifs a snap

This is a great and useful app that I use as a CEME student at Pitt main Definitely recommend it Thanks                 Great App

Great app Use it to help teach Strengths of Material class Finds Max Moment very quickly Accuracy is right on vs all of my hand calculations I see many many uses for this app                 Amazing

As an engineering student this app is a musthave Lets me quickly check my homework and get past problems that have me stumped                 Engineering Student

It is very useful to be able to have the shear and moment diagrams but if it doesnt allow you to force a beam to stay level then it doesnt matter how powerful of a tool it is when it has different reaction values for a symmetrical situation because its not quite level It would also help if you could copy and paste sections of trusses to make sure that they are identical And none of it matters at all if it doesnt stop crashing every time you try to change angles between members All of that said it has a massive amount of potential if Autodesk can fix all of the bugs they have with their current version and not just keep putting out a new version with new features but all the same old bugs        Great but

I have been really happy with this app and Ive not been disappointed by any locked feature that I wanted to use                 I cant believe its free

I cant input an exact angle without the app crashing        Crashes with angles
