Mechanix5.0

Mechanix is an mobile educative application in support to an high-school or university course of statics and dynamics.
It contains not only a memorandum of the basic equations, but it also contains several animations illustrating the various concepts of mechanics.

This application runs on iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, and iPod Touch 3rd generation and later.

- More than 50 illustrations!!
- More than 20 animations !!
- More than 100 screens of mechanics!!

For teachers !! Connect your iPad with a video projector and show the animations to your students in classroom.
