Quickfem, the 2D Finite Element Analysis App for Engineers and Students. FEA for Students Learn how finite elements and structural analysis works by starting out with simple models you can build directly on your phone or tablet. Play around with geometry, constraints, loads, materials and results to augment the theory. FEA for Engineers FEA is hard. Most problems are 3d and complex and require the major packages such as Ansys, Abacus, Patran, Nastran etc. But engineers have to know what to expect from these models and this insight stems from the understanding of simple mechanisms and effects. With Quickfem, you have the most convenient FEA modeller imaginable in your back pocket! Simple touch geometry creation, automatic meshing, quick mesh refinement, simple constant strain elements, and near solution instant feedback creates the tight iteration loops necessary for rapid discovery. Running on your mobile device, Quickfem gives you the freedom to create and understand structural models wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. Know what to expect. Featuring - Automatic meshing - 2D constant strain triangle FEM - Up to 100,000 elements - 3D view and edit mode - Axisymmetric FEA modelling - Plane stress and plane strain - Thermal mechanical (thermomechanical) analysis - Complex geometry, arcs, fillets, holes - Fastener representations, grounded or connected to 1 or more plates - Convergence checking through user defined mesh size - Displacements fringe and deformation plots - Strain and stress fringe plots - Equivalent and principal stress fringe plots - Maxima and minima - Unit systems, SI, US, none or custom - Default and customer material definitions - Customisable modelling environment, materials, loads, units, precision, feature thickness, mesh sizes - Example models Go to www.quickfem.com for more

ConcReoEst

Features
Read full description

Designed for engineers, contractors, and quantity surveyors, the Reinforcing Estimate App offers a robust toolset for quickly quantifying reinforcing across various structural elements. Whether you’re working on pad footings, piles, slabs, or beams/columns, this app provides the flexibility to adjust reinforcing layers within the structural elements effortlessly. The key features are the following: 1) Easily adjust and estimate reinforcing for multiple structural elements. 2) Visual colour alerts to highlight compliance with min reinforcing to AS3600. 3) Reinforcing properties for standard reinforcing, mesh and trench mesh. 4) Print out your results with Project Name, Location of estimate and Name of Estimator as well as your company Logo 5) Detailed instructions for the use of each element.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ConcReoEst at Free against Quickfem's $4.99. ConcReoEst also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Quickfem's advantage is chart position (#197 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
