App summary

SW FEA is a finite element analysis app for the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate plane frames. This app is useful to civil engineers, architects, mechanical engineers and students.

Features

-Build frame geometry by adding nodes and members graphically.
-Edit frame geometry by dragging nodes or changing node coordinates.
-Assign Fixed, Hinged and Roller supports. Roller supports can be added at any angle.
-Add point loads to any member or node, at any angle. Also add moment loads.
-Add uniform or linearly varying distributed loads at any angle to a member.
-Add internal pin connections to any member.
-Calculates internal forces due to support displacements.
-Calculates support reactions.
-Generates axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams. Also calculates and draws slope variation and the deformed elastic curve.
-Draws free body diagrams of individual members.
-Modify section properties (Young's modulus, moment of inertia, cross-section area, unit weight) for individual members

-Calculations are performed immediately.

-Use Metric or Imperial units.
-Inbuilt scientific calculator for input.
-Save and open created frames.
-Supports multi-touch gestures (Pinch zoom).
-Generates analysis report as PDF files.
-Share projects with other users, or export them for later use.

Lot of clicking and nothing happens. I go to add first frame peice... tada! nothing.... so on and so on there is nothing being added until i realized you need to add each node using twice the clicks because no toggle base function. Not a carpal tunnel friendly app.

Awesome app for checking results for academic purpose. The only headache I faced is, the diagram is nearly invisible when mobile is in dark mode. I have to turn off dark mode while using app. So, it would be highly appreciated if the background of app is customizable and/or bright background.

Overall it's good, but I found a bug when I wanted to add Internal Hinge. It forceclosed. I hope you can fix it. It's the most helpful app for engineering student!
