Premier Courseware of 2007
The 2007 Premier Award for Excellence in Engineering Education Courseware was presented to Arcade: Interactive Non-linear Structural Analysis and Animation, by Kirk Martini of University of Virginia.
Arcade is a structural analysis program for nonlinear dynamic simulation. It is based on a computation method widely used in computer games. This method gives the program unique game-like interaction where structural models respond to input from the mouse and keyboard in real time. The program has been successfully applied in topics ranging from entry-level statics to graduate-level structural stability. Click here to view a 10-minute Camtasia video on the Arcade web site.
