Truss Analysis and Visualization is a program for the force analysis of planar trusses and the visualizations of the results. The demo is limited to 4 nodes, otherwise everything else is enabled. This version uses patterns and colors to enable the use of this software on a B/W screen. (It still needs Color QuickDraw to be installed).
The program allows the user to
* Create a new truss design or use an existing preloaded truss.
* Alter the geometry of an existing truss design through moving the joint locations or by the addition/removal of truss members, truss supports or truss joints.
* Alter the loading on an existing truss.
* Produce free body diagrams of the entire truss or for selected pins.
* Produce a pattern/color graphical display of the load carried by the individual
members with the pattern/color of the member denoting tension/compression and the magnitude of the load.
I am asking $15 for the complete version. Orders and bug reports should be sent to
