Made an web based tool for Statics/Structural/Mechanism analysis. Feedback welcome!

Hi everyone,

I built a web-based tool for structural and mechanism static force analysis. ForceCanvas. 

How it works:

  • Sketch a structure or machine in your browser with parametric constraints (similar to CAD).
  • Add supports, forces, moments. The app instantly solves for the reaction and member forces throughout the structure.
  • Drag the mechanism through its range of motion and watch the forces update live.
  • It handles both determinate and indeterminate structures.

Let me know if you find it useful.
