i don't know about fun and playfull.......
MDsolids (i don't remember where i got it but it's free online) is a good structural program that lets you play with many different systems as well as apply loads and tests them
yeah, i second Dr. Frames... although i never could get it to work right on my diagrid shell for my highrise... just couldn't handle it i guess... but then again we only spent a couple of weeks in Dr. Frames and Studio was a bit more important.
"Dr.Frame3D, available for Windows and Macintosh, implements a rich direct manipulation environment in which users can interactively build and test 3-D truss and frame structures while receiving visual and numeric feedback to indicate structural behavior -- all in real time!"
this sounds like fun...even just 3d modeling some random forms and see how it behaves...

Structural engineering
Does someone know a structural engineer program which is so easy and playful like bridge-builder? (www.bridgebuilder-game.com)
[deer in headlights look from a bunch of architect-y types.]
engineering?!
ok - structural playing! I think bridge builder is a great learning game...
why bothering?
Dr. Frame is pretty cool. I think they offer a free version of the program on their website.
