You will enjoy the procedure of defining your own structure with only several steps and have it analyzed by this StrucMaster. Powerful functions inside can deal with internal force diagram, dynamics, influence line and stability analysis. The Intelligence part can provide detailed solving steps. The MultiSelect command can help you establish the large structure just as in CAD, it can also help designers define structures with non-integer length elements. All of the procedures are done by the artificial intelligence in your iPhone, no matter whether you are connected to the Internet. Convenient, powerful, no delays, what are you waiting for?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: mechanical design engine at none against StrucMaster's 1. mechanical design engine also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). StrucMaster's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
