With added processing power of the iPAD2, the device can now start using more complex engineering applications. The original iPAD could use simple 2D drawing application, but the iPAD2 can render 3D drawing and dense 3d drawings. Better simulations have come out lately to demonstrate how certain tasks.

 * ||= **Circuit Lab HD** || Circuit Lab HD is an electronic circuit analysis tool based on the modified node analysis method.

Three kind of analysis may be conducted:
 * DC: linear and non linear circuits with continuous voltage and current sources;
 * AC: linear circuits in steady state, sinusoidal voltage and current sources;
 * Transient: linear and non linear circuits, with sinusoidal and pulse voltage sources.

User can graphically draw the circuit and then the circuit can be analyzed.

Circuit may be controlled by means of the following gestures:
 * Drag: to move the circuit into the desired position
 * Tap on a component: to modify the component's parameters
 * Pinch: to zoom in and out
 * Double finger double Tap: to reset position and zoom level to the original values

Tapping DC button, user gets voltage at each circuit's node.

Tapping AC button, user gets voltage phasors at each circuit node.
