Freedom meets Free-Body Diagrams

So, you say you’re tired of spending hours creating free-body diagrams but you’re just not sure if there’s an easier way?

Well don’t tell your professors but there is. Autodesk is committed to making things easier for our customers and as engineers-in-training you can benefit from the tools that make their lives easier by making the concepts you’re learning more understandable. Design Accelerators are a great example for machine design.

Autodesk ForceEffect is a new app for iPad that makes free-body diagrams so easy they’re fun! If you don’t believe me take a look at what the people in charge say:

“Autodesk ForceEffect is a mobile conceptual simulation app that brings engineering to the point of the problem,” said Robert “Buzz” Kross, senior vice president, Manufacturing Industry Group at Autodesk. “This user-friendly app can greatly benefit engineers, students and technical DYIers who need to quickly and easily evaluate their designs upfront in the design process.”

See, I told you. This is really an amazing thing to behold. Check it out for free at the iTunes App Store and see for yourself. You may want to hide it from your professors though.
