Structural behavior is best learned by repeated observation. GOYA is designed to improve intuitive understanding of structures through repetition, allowing students to solve problems with relative ease.

GOYA operates on any platform that accommodates JAVA, which can be downloaded from http://java.com/en/.

A brief manual for using GOYA is here. To maximize the efficiency of learning, we recommend a book titled "Understanding Structures: an Introduction to Structural Analysis" published by CRC Press.
