What's New in CoDeAn

1.1.3

June 13, 2021

After a long time, we've updated the app so it works well with the latest devices and iOS versions.

User reviews

Great CLT tool

Great CLT tool. However, it is too bad that I can’t upgrade fro the free version. It appears to be a glitch with the app.

Cool app!!

Excellent way of getting material properties of plates with CLPT. Includes the typical failure criteria (max stress, max strain, Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, Hashin-Rotem) and a very user-friendly interface for defining loads and plate dimensions.

Minor complaints are present, of course. The grey background makes seeing some things (like the resultant loads on the plate diagram) somewhat difficult to see. Other thoughts:

1. CLPT should be modified to incorporate sandwich core structures.

2. Capability to define and analyse box beams, shafts, shells, wings, etc. should be incorporated into the code.

3. Dynamic response (natural frequencies and damping) would be nice to have.

4. Would be nice to add in failure criteria for plates with holes and mechanically-fastened joints.

5. Buckling/failure modes should be included.

6. Fatigue analysis would be AWESOME!

7. Hygrothermal and residual stresses from processing?

All in all, spectacularly well-executed app. As for the additions that would be nice to see in the app, I already have MATLAB scripts written for most of them. Drop me a line and I'll trade for profit sharing! Lol

FAQ

What is CoDeAn used for?

CoDeAn is designed to help students and engineers quickly learn and apply theories in structural mechanics for composite laminates. It offers modules for plate theory, strength checks, strength determination, and buckling analysis.

What are the key features of CoDeAn?

Key features include libraries for defining materials and laminates, analysis modules for plate theory and strength, and a plate buckling module. It also allows for interactive results comparison and export of data.

Is CoDeAn suitable for beginners?

Yes, CoDeAn is born from the idea to create a tool for students to familiarize themselves with basic theories in structural mechanics of composite laminates. The free version serves as a showcase of its capabilities.

What kind of analysis can I perform with CoDeAn?

You can perform calculations related to classical laminated plate theory, check laminate strength against five failure criteria, determine laminate strength based on load ratios, and calculate critical buckling loads for plates.

Can I save and share my analysis results?

Yes, CoDeAn allows you to export your results. You can save plots to your photo library or export data and plots directly via email, which is useful for reports.

What are the benefits of the in-app purchase for CoDeAn?

The Pro upgrade unlocks unlimited material and laminate creation, calculation of extra variables in plate theory, complete load vector creation in strength modules, three additional failure theories, more buckling analysis options, and enhanced export capabilities.

What devices does CoDeAn support?

CoDeAn is available for iPhone and iPod devices. It has an age rating of 4+.

How often is CoDeAn updated?

The latest version, 1.1.3, was released on June 13, 2021. This indicates updates may not be very frequent, but the app has been maintained since its release in 2013.
