Description
Bring engineering to the point of the problem with Autodesk® ForceEffect™, a mobile engineering app for simulating design concepts in the field or in the office. Unlike the traditional approach of using paper, pencil, and a calculator to develop equations for design options, Autodesk ForceEffect does all the simulation and engineering calculations for you right on your mobile device, helping you to quickly and easily simulate design options during the concept phase to determine the viability of a design. ✓Fast—Real-time solving capabilities and immediate feedback on the simulation performance. Print, email, or view a results report on any HTML-enabled browser or mobile device. ✓Easy—Intuitive interaction for drawing, constraining, and simulating concepts. Simply tap objects to select, and then move, rotate, and scale. ✓Complete—Solutions for both statically determinate and over-constrained or indeterminate problems. ✓Integrated—Easy workflow continuation into CAD with industry-standard export capabilities via DXF™ files and email for file sharing.
The Autodesk ForceEffect engineering app is ideal for static systems analysis using free body diagrams: •Freehand sketching of elements and construction lines with snaps, constraints, and inferencing •Object dimensioning, global scaling, units, constraints •Import image as background •Create joints (welded, pinned) •Break element at joints •Create supports (fixed, grounded, sliding) •Create loads (known, unknown, distributed) and moments •Add weight to individual elements •Compute reaction forces and moments for equilibrium and over-constrained systems •Toggle forces to show force vector components •Results reporting with picture, results, all equations •Save and load files from Autodesk 360 •In app tutorials

★★★★★
Very helpful. As an Engineering student, I'm glad you made such a brilliant app that can save time.
★★★★★
Great for teaching the principals of structural engineering, would be better if it could display the bending moments and shear forces on the main diagram rather than in the report?
★★★★★
How is the accuracy? I would be interested to know if this is well proof tested. I have been using it for only a short time and have already seen some wonky results. It would be nice if Autodesk would give some guidance on good practice for model making and some pitfalls that can give undesirable results. I notice that the report was not formated the best for a printer. PDF option? Regardless, I like this app a lot, I just caution that you should always do some quick checks to prove your model before you accept any results.
★★☆☆☆
Crashed all the time I couldn't even use this app once on my Nexus 5 running Lollipop, every time I open it, it just crashes. Very disappointing.
★★☆☆☆
Invalid credentials... Can't login. Great app and quite useful, but I am unable save any on my projects as I am unable to login to my Autodesk account in Force Effect. Login creds work for AutoCAD 360 and other apps and Web services. Please fix.
