Description

Designed by a true rocket scientist, Truss Me helps you learn to design truss structures while having fun! At each challenge, design trusses that are light and strong and you will earn precious golden nuts.

Truss Me utilizes state of the art simulation techniques used by aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineers to provide the most realistic behavior for your trusses. If well designed, your trusses will resist as they would in real life*. If your truss has flaws, the structure will fail realistically*!

Truss Me works well with dynamic problems as well, so you can build from bridges, roofs, and cranes to impact problems involving crash of spacecrafts into the ground!

As an instructor, you can teach your students how to design trusses using the freestyle mode. In this mode, you can design an arbitrary truss, e.g. a bridge, roof, crane, or even a spacecraft, and show visually the difference between tension and compression. You can also explain the difference between failure under tension and compression. Then, you can use the challenges to organize a truss design competition, in which students would compete to achieve the maximum score at each level. Truss design competitions utilizing Truss Me! have been carried out at top schools in the U.S and abroad!

Usage TIPS:

1) Joints are fundamental, as you can only build bars from one existing joint to another, and add supports and loads to existing joints only.
2) If you keep your finger down when adding a joint, you will see a grid. Without lifting the finger, you can drag the joint to be aligned with the grid.
3) You can also drag existing joints using the same procedure described above.
4) You can pinch and zoom your truss with 2 fingers to tune small-size structural details. Moving two fingers also allows you to pan the structure around.
5) Red color means tension and blue compression. Blue bars will fail at much lower loads due to buckling!
6) Please refer to the educational section on our website for more details!

*Truss Me has been created for educational and recreational purposes only. It must not be used under any circumstances to design or compute real structures.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Fun and challenging to complete each one and reduce weight to get maximum score. But now all 24 levels are done with three stars. Thank you for creating it and not putting annoying ads.

5 ★A target, or maximum score for each structure, might help us measure our performance. It seems very difficult to achieve 3 nuts after initial tasks. Good fun though.

5 ★Really enjoy this. Have some difficulty with placing the connectors, even when zoomed in; they tend to shift when I lift my finger. One thing I would really like to see (at least I have not found it) is to be able to save a "version" that I can revert back to. Even better if multiple points could be saved. That would make it easier to try to improve on early attempts. With only 20 undos, it is sometimes hard to recover from improvements that actually weren`t.

5 ★Really fun to tweak structures. The stress simulation makes sense, also the compression versus tension strength of the members. After a lot of tuning I end up with designs that look like something a structural engineer would have designed!

4 ★It's very nice game I keep going back to try to get top score on all the two nut games however the game is a massive battery drainer can only play for an hour and it has devoured a third of battery life

2 ★No instructions. Figure it out yourself. Nor so bad for the first few levels, but around challenge 14 or so I'm not sure how to pass the levels.

2 ★Good premise, but poor execution. It doesn't really tell you what to do, how to do it, or how it's scored. It doesn't even automatically take you to the next level upon completion, making you feel like there's no real point

4 ★Enjoyable game. Lots to experiment. Good challenges. No problems at all except 'Please provide the solutions'. I am stuck on challenge 3 and have no idea how to proceed

1 ★Mind numbingly boring fast. Never understood the scoring system, wash and repeat challenges

5 ★I can't even get 1 nut on level 15, and I thought I was a half decent engineer. I won't give up but this may take some time.

3 ★Good idea, and managed the early levels. But further on had difficulty due to small screen size. Something that is better on a tablet maybe.

5 ★Love the game. Needs more levels. And possibly more explanation. Maybe you could add content that better explains the engineering and design behind these structures. I.e. intention, style, etc. Also, maybe an option to see the best design achieved. After completion, of course.
