In this tutorial you will learn how to avoid flipping loads. We will use a similar technique as before (see the tutorials about loads) but use a ray instead of a line to enforce a particular load direction.
In this tutorial you will learn how to prevent points from moving on the objects onto which they are constrained. We will construct a dummy object and redefine the constraint of the point to this object.
In this tutorial you will learn how to create custom labels. We will create text fields and attach them to objects to create a label for the object. Note that this is especially useful for labels of white points...
In this tutorial you will learn how to visualise the forces in the bars of the truss. We will add thickness to the bars proportional to the magnitude of the internal forces and use dynamic colours to indicate compression or tension.
In this tutorial you will learn how to set up a graphic statics drawing for the single panel truss using constraints for the geometry as well as the load. It demonstrates how to constrain points to different objects.
In this tutorial you will learn how to obtain the reaction forces of the single panel truss under load P based on the template set up in Tutorial 1. You will start by labelling the spaces between the external spaces. Then you will construct the force diagram and obtain the reaction forces. You will learn how to perform calculations within the input bar in the text box. You will understand the relevance of constraints within a graphic statics drawing.
In this tutorial you will learn how to set up a graphic statics drawing in GeoGebra using the example of a single panel truss. It will guide you through the process of organizing your drawing into form diagram, force diagram and a set of variables. Then you will create the variables using sliders, set up the geometry of the single panel truss and representations of the external forces in the form diagram and add a scale to both the form and the force diagram.
In this tutorial you will learn how to apply a scale to your GeoGebra drawing and control it with a slider.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use sliders to control specific properties of a load.You will construct a vector as a representation of a load and use a slider to control its size. Then you will create a slider to control the magnitude of the load.
In this tutorial you will learn how to construct a (graphic statics) load in GeoGebra.It will guide you through the construction of the characteristic properties of a force: its point of application, its line of action, its magnitude and its direction.
