Sketchalyze vs Eng Fluids
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Sketchalyze
This app allows users to sketch and analyze structural systems directly on their iPad. It provides instant visualization of analysis results like deformations and section forces, performing finite element analysis in the background. Users can define cross-sections, apply loads, and visualize results for linear and nonlinear analyses.
- Sketch structural systems
- Instant analysis results visualization
- Finite element analysis
- Tabulated and user-defined cross sections
- Truss and beam element types
- Linear and nonlinear analysis

Sketch and analyze structural systems on the iPad. In Sketchalyze, Analysis results such as deformations and section forces are visualized instantly, a finite element analysis is performed in the background whenever needed. Features: - Tabulated and user defined cross sections - Truss and beam element types - Line and point loads on beam elements - Listing of model and result data - Share models via email and Facebook - Linear and geometrical nonlinear (load or displacement controlled) analysis - Load-deflection curves for nonlinear analysis - Visualization of kinematic modes for unsufficiently constrained systems - Background image for creating models of structures from photographs or drawings
Eng Fluids
Read full descriptionHide full description
Eng Fluids app provides real homework and test problems for the common engineering course called Statics. All problems are organized in sections and chapters common to most textbooks. Each problem has a complete solution with graphics to help you better understand how to solve the problem. Also, each problem has a link to a theory web page for that section at the online eBook (eCoursesBook.com). There is no cost for the online eBook, and it can be accessed outside of the app. The paid version ($2.99) has over 250 problems. There are no ads or in-app purchases. Network connection is required to run the app since all problems are pulled from an online database. Each problem is small (less than 20 k) and are vector-based graphics. All problems have been used in real engineering classes. Problems are accessed through an online database, so if any errors are identified, they will be updated and the app will use the corrected version. This program is copyrighted and cannot be distributed without the author's written consent.
