ModelSmart 3D introduces students to basic engineering concepts while reinforcing their math and science skills. Written by a professional engineer, ModelSmart 3D allows students to interactively design and test balsa and bass wood models of bridges, cranes, towers and all kinds of structural systems on the computer. Students begin by building their 3D model in the SpaceGuide and applying the loads to it. ModelSmart 3D then analyzes the model, gives numerical results and simulates the results by showing a deflected shape or collapse. Students can explore more structures in less time and with less material waste. And they’ll enjoy working with the 3D designs and watching the 3D animations of their model’s performance.
