Material Detail

In the mechanics of materials course, students are challenged to develop problem-solving skills necessary for the design of machines and structures. MDSolids is multi-faceted software that offers students numerical, descriptive, and visual results and details that illustrate and explain many types of problems involving stress and strain, axial members, beams, columns, torsion members, truss analysis, and section properties calculations. MDSolids is a flexible and versatile tool that helps the student with the specific problem that he or she is interested in rather than compelling the student to consider a problem that is posed by the software. MDSolids' graphical user interface makes the software visually appealing, easy-to-use, and very intuitive, so that students can focus on the problem-solving concepts rather than on the operation of the software. Named Premier Courseware of 1998. Requires Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0. Requires 800 x 600 monitor resolution.
