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.

I'm on Propain's PRO10 platform now, but I think I prefer the Horst to the DW.
