Schnittkraftmeister

Today buildings, structures and machines are almost always designed by computer-generated diagrams of internal forces. One of the skills required by an engineer is to verify the results of an analysis and to spot internal force diagrams that can not be right. This is why the "Schnittkraftmeister" was conceived: Students get an idea of internal force diagrams by playful learning.
Given is a structure under a static external load. Three different solutions for the diagram of internal forces are shown, but only one is correct. The faster the correct answer is chosen the more points are given. Be careful, when choosing a wrong solution, the game is over and all points for the current level are lost!

This serious game is for persons, who have a basic knowledge in structural analysis and of external and internal forces in structures. The target audience are aspiring civil or mechanical engineers.

The app is great. It's a very helpful tool for beginners of structural analysis. Just one thing that makes it unplayable; the 3rd choice cannot be selected; the App doesn't response when you click on the last choice. Hope this can be fixed soon.

1 the game is awesome! 2 has a big flaw, that is the compression/tension +/- indicators for shear and axial forces. it is manageable on horizontal girders, but after it is angled it often turns into a gamble (even when I assume that it is clockwise or CCW rotation somehow it doesnt work) SO PLEASE INCLUDE + & - IN THE DIAGRAMS thank you :) awesome game otherwise 😎

The game is great. The issue, as mentioned by other people, is that the right answer somehow cannot be chosen anymore. Hence the whole game is unplayable.

UI is still broken to where the answer can't be selected.

Great concept but it has some major issue,you can not select the right side 1st option,plz fix it

It's need major update, on Android will not let you to choose far right answer, please fix this issue.

It would be nice but everytime I press play the 3 answers don't appear so I can't play.

not functional, can't click on the left most option for some reason.

Unplayable since the far right answer isn't selectable on my S10+

perfect training on structural problems

fun and calm

The third answer doesn't work anymore.

I think it would be better if there will be no limited time when difficult structures appear. It would be better if the answers can be seen all together, without having to swipe left or right in order to find the right answer. It would save time for sure, since we're under clock.

Hello, I am currenty reviewing structural analysis apps on the market with the University of Manchester. I have tried your application and I was pleased with its functionality and ability to aid understanding. Two pointers that I have noticed so far are that you lable axial forces as tension, while it can be in the form of compression as well (negative tension in the app), and I thought it would be good to point that out. The other point is the similarity between the pin roller and the pin supports symbols. For clarity, it would be good to indicate the pin roller (resistence to vertical forces only) with a clear roller symbol of its own. Overall great app!

I have no idea what the hell you're supposed to do. I usually just pick wrong.

Cho. Feb 15, 2018     

Sign of diagram is reversed from our analysis system. It would be perfect if it has the option that solve this problem. Yeab loved it!

Iri. V. May 25, 2017     

Great game. I wish there was an option for the plus sign convention for the diagrams, also that I did not have to start it all over again every time, regardless of the reached level. Nevertheless, five stars.

Néj. G. Feb 5, 2018     

The app deserves more than 5 stars. The best educational game dealing with structural analysis.

Nim. K. Jun 9, 2017     

good game but if the sign of diagram changed can be better

Art. A. Nov 27, 2017     

That's fine. Hope to be developed as much as possible.

What the heck was that

This app is amazing for engineers and students to train your skills. Very interesting. I love that I never see advertising. Keep going!

Aru. d. Dec 5, 2016     

Really helpful and interesting for me as i am getting good ideas from this app to relate with practical problem..Thanks a lot for those who done this!!!

Ras. M. Mar 30, 2017     

It's an amazing game! I love it! I just wish there's more time on higher levels and some checkpoints. It's a bit frustrating knowing you have to do it all again every time. Still, a great game!

Kri. K. Nov 20, 2016     

I would appriciate some additional time on higher levels.

Tar. K. Nov 22, 2016     

You should put an option so the diagrams are drawn on the compression side as well

Rom. V. Oct 29, 2016     

Well done. Very fun and educational.

Awesome game , i can learn and enjoy with it
