A diverse set of drawing and mathematical tools enable students, educators, and engineers to rapidly build complex models simulating the physical world. Never before has it been so easy to set up an experiment and explore “what-if” scenarios. Working Model makes it possible to visualize scientific and engineering concepts taught in the classroom, making course material more relevant and enjoyable. Further enhancing the interactive student-teacher experience, Working Model provides tools to design, test, refine, and verify mechanical, biomechanical, and structural assemblies.

School-to-work skills
Working Model is a powerful tool used by thousands of professional engineers worldwide. The skills learned by using Working Model in school are directly applicable to on-the-job analysis of 2D motion simulations.
Sometimes the most difficult part of engineering is understanding the maze of equations in the textbook. Working Model makes sense ofh4 the math and lets you visualize and interact with otherwise difficult concepts.
Move beyond a topic
Working Model allows you to explore physics on a more meaningful level than can be taught on paper or at the chalkboard. You can study what-if scenarios and create nearly any simulation imaginable. Have fun experimenting and inventing new machines, environments, and models.

Difference between Interactive Physics(IP) and Working Model
Interactive Physics was created for physics and Working Model was developed for engineering.
As a result, the user manual, tutorial, and examples for IP are appropriate for physics instruction whereas the user manual, tutorial, and examples for Working Model are directed towards engineering professionals, engineering educators, and students.
To best enhance school-to-work skills, the IP user-interface mimics the Working Model user-interface. However, some of the advanced Working Model features, e.g., DXF/CAD import, MATLAB interface, and Working Model Basic programming, are not available in Interactive Physics.
