Build Bridges.
Test Them to Failure.

A structural engineering simulator where you design real truss bridges and stress-test them with increasingly heavy vehicles — from a bicycle to a 200-ton train.

What makes it different
Real engineering. Real physics.
⚛️

Position-Based Dynamics

Verlet integration with iterative constraint relaxation — the same method used in game physics engines. Beams genuinely sag, bend, and fail under load.

⟷

Tension vs Compression

Every beam is tracked for its structural mode — blue = tension, orange = compression. Toggle the Force Diagram to see real load paths through your structure.

🌊

Resonance Model

Multiple vehicles cause oscillation that builds over time. Push it far enough and you'll witness a Tacoma Narrows–style resonance collapse.

Engineering Reports

One click generates a printable technical report with material breakdown, stress analysis, cost efficiency, and structural notes — ready to submit.

📊

CSV Stress Export

Export per-beam stress data as a spreadsheet after every test. Analyze results in Excel or Python for deeper insights.

🎓

Guided Lessons

Four structured engineering lessons walk you through core concepts — from why beams sag, to truss geometry, to material selection.

Build. Test. Analyze.
1

Design

Drag beams between anchor points. Use screws to add junction points anywhere along a beam.

2

Test

Hit Test Bridge, then spawn vehicles. Watch stress colors build from neutral → amber → red → snap.

3

Analyze

Click any beam to inspect it. Use Force Diagram to see tension/compression. Generate a full report.

4

Improve

Replay the failure, identify weak points, rebuild. Compare two designs side by side.

Materials
Five structural materials, each with real tradeoffs.

Wood

$14/m
Cheap and light. Snaps quickly under load.

Concrete

$68/m
Decent strength. Very heavy on long spans.

Steel

$135/m
Strongest standard material. Industry standard.

Cable

$45/m
Tension only. Essential for suspension bridges.

Carbon

$400/m
Ultra-strong, ultra-light. Extremely expensive.

What people are saying
"Finally understood why triangles matter in structures. Watched my beam bridge collapse then added diagonals and it held a semi — clicked immediately."
Student
High School Physics
"The tension/compression overlay is genuinely useful for teaching load paths. Better than any static diagram I've used."
Teacher
Civil Engineering Technology
"Impressive that this runs fully in the browser with no install. The resonance model is a nice touch — students always ask about Tacoma Narrows."
