iBuild vs VigasAPP

iBuild is the construction material calculator designed for builders, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts. Estimate exactly what you need to buy for your next project in seconds. Calculate quantities for 16 material types across 6 categories: Drywall and panels (sheets, screws, tape, compound, studs and tracks), Masonry (hollow brick, solid brick, and concrete block with mortar), Flooring (ceramic, porcelain, vinyl, and laminate with adhesive and grout), Interior and exterior paint with coverage per coat, Roofing (ceramic tiles and corrugated metal sheets) and Insulation. Enter dimensions or total area, add door and window openings, adjust waste percentage, and get a full shopping list with exact quantities, bags, cans, and linear meters. Use your iPhone camera to measure walls and surfaces with augmented reality. Point, tap, and get real-time dimensions with precision. Measurements feed directly into the calculator. Draw floor plans with walls, doors, windows, and text labels. Pinch to zoom, pan to navigate, and see live stats. Export professional PDF plans with dimensions and grid overlay, ready to share. Save every calculation with a custom title. Review past estimates anytime with full material breakdowns. Available in Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. Built for the job site. Fast, offline, and precise.

Define and analyse two-dimensional beams with VigasAPP using the matrix stiffness method. Create a beam step by step or edit its geometry, end conditions, intermediate supports and springs. Add point forces, moments, distributed loads and polynomial loads, including positive and negative values. Input checks help you identify incomplete or inconsistent data before calculating. Open Results to calculate reactions and explore shear, bending moment, rotation and deflection diagrams. Inspect values at chosen positions, extrema and both sides of discontinuities, and read piecewise equations. Choose metric engineering, SI or imperial units. Work with known E and I, or inspect symbolic EI expressions where the model permits. Export a PDF with a dimensioned sketch, assumptions, units, reactions, diagrams and equations, or a text verification report. Save named beams, reopen them and exchange models as versioned .vigasapp files. The adaptive interface makes room for the diagram and editor on iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac. On Mac, use the pointer, keyboard shortcuts and native file panels. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German and French. For study and independent checks. Always verify the input, assumptions, units and results before using them in a real engineering project.
