Example Projects

ObjectiveFrame includes example .df3 models that can be used for demos, classroom exercises, onboarding, and regression checks. The models live in the repository under bin/examples and bin/examples_misc.

Gallery asset placeholder

The examples below use existing repository thumbnails where available. Add consistent 16:9 screenshots or short animated previews for each example when preparing a more polished gallery.

Suggested Teaching Uses

  • Start with bar_bridge.df3 to discuss axial force behavior in trusses.
  • Use bridge_with_beams.df3 to compare beam and truss modelling assumptions.
  • Use dome_frame.df3 and dome_truss.df3 to discuss three-dimensional load paths.
  • Use building_with_load.df3 to demonstrate boundary conditions and lateral response.
  • Use multiple_load_cases.df3 to introduce load case comparison.

Missing Example Material

The following additions would make this page more useful:

  • A one-line learning goal for each model.
  • A consistent screenshot style for every example.
  • Short animated clips for feedback-mode examples.
  • Downloadable exercise sheets for students.
  • Expected result screenshots after running each model.
