Structural Theory Simulations

A collection of interactive 3D visualizations and simulations to help you master concepts in structural theory.

Cables and Arches - Theory & Concepts - Cables Arches

Cables and arches are specialized structural elements that carry loads primarily through axial tension (cables) or axial compression (arches). Beca...

Deflection of Structures - Theory & Concepts - Conjugate Beam

Deflection is the displacement of a structural element under load. Controlling deflection is critical for ensuring the serviceability (usability an...

Adjust the load position to see how the M/EI diagram becomes the load for the Conjugate Beam.
