Free Engineering Tools for Students
Comprehensive online tools for solving statics and strength of materials problems.
1Comprehensive Engineering Tools
Resultant Engineering offers a free collection of tools to help engineering students solve statics and strength of materials problems. Features include a free body diagram creator, vector resultant calculator, and shear/moment diagram tool. All computations run client-side with no data sent to servers.
2Free Body Diagram Creator
This 2D sketching tool visualizes engineering problems with force arrows, moment arcs, and basic shapes. Diagrams export as PNG/SVG for direct use in Word or LaTeX. Users can save diagrams as .fbd files and reload them later for continued work.
3Vector Resultant Calculator
Add 2D force vectors by magnitude and angle to compute resultant forces and components. The tool updates results in real-time and exports diagrams as PDF for lab reports. Ideal for concurrent force system problems in statics coursework.
4Shear and Moment Diagram Solver
Input beam length, supports, and loading to generate labeled shear force and bending moment diagrams. Supports simply supported, pin-roller, and cantilever beams with point loads and distributed loads. Output includes piecewise functions for manual verification.
5Thermodynamics Solver and More
The Rankine cycle solver uses IAPWS-IF97 data for thermodynamic calculations. Additional tools include Mohr's circle plotter, beam formula reference, inertia calculator, and PDF utilities. All tools are free and require no account creation.
6Valuable Student Resource
These tools streamline engineering coursework by reducing manual calculation needs. The client-side processing ensures data privacy while the intuitive interface helps students save time on assignments and projects.
