The Desktop Engineer
The Desktop Engineer is a
computerized handbook that represents the world’s largest known compilation of
solutions to engineering equations. The Desktop Engineer is an
interactive menu driven program which operates in both Windows and UNIX. It numerically
and graphically provides solutions to over 5000 equations required in
structural/mechanical engineering applications. These equations, based on the theory of
elasticity and strength of materials, have been rigorously researched from over 100
references and represent the results of theoretical efforts by recognized experts of the
engineering profession.
The Desktop Engineer also calculates geometric
section properties for arbitrary two-dimensional thin-walled open cell, closed cell,
single cell, multi cell, cross sections. More than thirty nominal section properties,
including twelve torsional properties, are calculated.
The Desktop Engineer allows the
user to concentrate on the engineering, rather than the bookkeeping, aspects of
structural/mechanical calculations.
The intuitive
user interface includes:
 |
THE ANALYSIS MANAGER - Provides
over 5,000 numerical and graphical solutions, required in
structural/mechanical engineering applications, including geometric, static,
dynamic and buckling analysis. These solutions, based on the theory of
elasticity and strength of materials, have been researched from over 100
references and represent the theoretical efforts by recognized experts of
the engineering profession. |

THE SECTION MANAGER
- Used to locate, view, create and edit section properties. Section property
databases are provided for Steel, Aluminum and Wood sections; properties can
be calculated for other common sections. Default section properties may be
defined for use in the Analysis Manager. The Section Manager includes Thin
Walled Sections which calculates 31 geometric section properties including 12
torsional properties, for arbitrary two-dimensional open cell, closed cell,
single cell and multi-cell thin-walled cross sections. |

|
THE MATERIAL MANAGER
- Used to locate, view, create and edit material properties. Material property
databases are provided for common structural materials, including Steel,
Aluminum, Wood, Concrete and others. Default material properties may be
defined for use in the Analysis Manager. A comprehensive Unit Conversion
Utility is also provided. |
