About

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.

Highlights
  • 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
  • Load-deflection curves
