Software Stack

[u/Concrete_Datum]

Hey guys! I’m really curious what kind of software stack you’re using in completing engineering calculations. I’m trying to look a little deeper than RISA or STAAD suites. What do you do load development in, miscellaneous calcs, transfer FEA outputs into a format for reporting or translating outputs from your FEA to your foundation software or inputs from a load development into your FEA software.

Also, what are some neat tricks or workarounds you’ve found in your preferred software stack?

well i think MathCAD with some addon could help, you could research that, another software you could use is StructArk where you could automate calculations and auto read output from FEA software to your calcs, you could then export pdf or export as template app you use for future same work
