"Enercalc is a good software for everyday structural design tasks"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Structural Engineering Library?

Enercalc SEL handles a lot of the common design tasks structural engineers have to deal with on a daily basis: columns, beams, footings, building walls and retaining walls. It can check your primary material options like steel, concrete, wood, and masonry for several of those categories. It allows you to do a quick check of each component without having to build a big model first, and then organize all of the individual calcs into a straightforward calc package. The calcs are concise and readable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Structural Engineering Library?

The licensing has always been a bit buggy, especially on recognizing checked-out licenses from the license pool. It sometimes takes them a while to fix bugs after they are reported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Structural Engineering Library solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enercalc SEL handles all the common piecemeal questions we deal with as engineers, like whether a steel beam is adequate for some additional load, or if a concrete footing will still work after the jobsite didn't put the right rebar in it, and so forth. We use it all the time at our office, both for original design and for questions after the fact. It's particularly handy for quick preliminary designs and "what-if" questions.
