Schnittkraftmeister app for iPhone and iPad
Today buildings, structures and machines are almost always designed by computer-generated diagrams of internal forces. One of the skills required by an engineer is to verify the results of an analysis and to spot internal force diagrams that can not be right. This is why the "Schnittkraftmeister" was conceived: Students get an idea of internal force diagrams by playful learning.
Given is a structure under a static external load. Three different solutions for the diagram of internal forces are shown, but only one is correct. The faster the correct answer is chosen the more points are given. Be careful, when choosing a wrong solution, the game is over and all points for the current level are lost!
This serious game is for persons, who have a basic knowledge in structural analysis and of external and internal forces in structures. The target audience are aspiring civil or mechanical engineers.
Pros and cons of Schnittkraftmeister app for iPhone and iPad
Schnittkraftmeister app good for
I highly recommend this game, itll help you develop your intuition
Ottimo per lesame di scienza delle costruzioni.. For developer: change the name in static, or costruction engineering, or scienze of costruction or what you want! Noone can find the application in app store by search mode. Good job! Great ;)
For developer: please, change the name of app, for example ibeam....
Great app... Anyway its tedious to start over everytime you make a mistake!
Funny, but it is necessary to stop restartin level every time!
Good brain game. Perhaps add option to subtract points for incorrect answer, end game at 0 points or finish all levels?
Some bad moments
Lots of examples, which is good but lables detailing the diagrams are missing (Vertical, horizontal and moments). Should have used the App to make it an educational tool.
I will give it 5 stars when they add an explanation for an incorrect answer.
The app is a fun way to test youre understanding of reaction forces due to many different loading conditions. As a engineering student and would love a update that includes brief hints or corrections following a wrong answer. Do that, and its a five star app!!
Decent app for getting used to quickly answering beam loading questions. Good for reviewing your knowledge when you are on the go or something. Like everyone said, it would be nice of if they included explanations for their reasoning other than that this app is pretty good resource for an engineering student.
This game is excellent! Theres a couple of changes that could make it better (like more than one try before restarting or opportunities to add your own loading and see the diagram) but its a great app! Many folks from our engineering department are downloading it now.
Big fan of this app. Good practice and fun to brush up on structural skills.
