Abstract
Last Century had seen remarkable changes in the field of Science and Technology; particularly computers. Computer is no doubt the biggest ever invention of mankind. Advancements in the field of software industry has brought into many revolutionary changes in the field of computers. Today, the most developments are being done in the field of transformation of engineering concepts into software form. The requirement of simple and easy learnable software was always felt at the undergraduate level at CAE (NUST College of Aeronautical Engineering, Risalpur, Pakistan), for better understanding / application of the course contents in structures specialty. To meet these requirements, authors have developed FARST (Farrukh’s Structural Tool) software that can be described as “Computer-based Learning Tool”. Students can use this tool to understand and analyze basic and medium level aircraft structures problems. The computer code is written in Visual Basic®. This language is selected for its user-friendly environment and easy to use Graphical user interface (GUI).
