ForceEffect

ForceEffect redefines engineering simulations by leveraging the capabilities of your mobile device to streamline the design process. It offers an innovative approach to simulating design concepts both in the field and the office, eliminating the need for traditional tools like paper, pencils, or calculators. With real-time solving capabilities, ForceEffect delivers immediate feedback on simulation performance, enabling you to quickly assess the viability of your designs during the concept phase. This efficiency boosts productivity and supports informed decision-making.

User-Friendly Design Interface

ForceEffect excels with its intuitive interface that simplifies the tasks of drawing, constraining, and simulating design concepts. Users can easily tap and manipulate objects by moving, rotating, and scaling them just with a few taps. The app supports complete solutions for statically determinate and indeterminate problems, ensuring comprehensive analyses. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with CAD systems through industry-standard export capabilities, such as DXF files, facilitating easy continuation of workflows.

Robust Analytical Tools

The app is ideal for static systems analysis, making extensive use of free body diagrams. It features tools for freehand sketching, dimensioning, global scaling, and constraint settings. Additional features include the ability to import images as backgrounds, create joints and supports, and introduce loads and moments in your designs. You can compute reaction forces and an array of moments, even for over-constrained systems, providing a thorough analysis of structural setups.

Comprehensive Reporting and Support

For reporting purposes, ForceEffect offers detailed reports that include images, computed results, and all relevant equations. This feature ensures that you maintain comprehensive records of your simulated scenarios. With the ability to save and load files from Autodesk 360, the app provides a robust framework for managing your projects. Tutorials within the app offer guidance to maximize efficiency and user experience, making ForceEffect a valuable tool for engineers looking to enhance their mobile capabilities in design simulation.
