ABSTRACT

An easy-to-use instant structural analysis software application with full graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed for 2D structures-iSA (Instant Structural Analysis). iSA serves as a handy tool for teachers and engineers alike to learn about structural analysis and design. It gives instant graphical results that accurately simulate structural responses, thus promoting self-learning and creativity. This paper introduces several features of iSA and their importance in enhancing student learning and the understanding of structural analysis.
