We thank everybody who came by our booth, and especially those gave us their time to attend our presentation. If you didn’t make it to NASCC 2018, make your plans now to visit us at the Structural Engineers’ Association of Texas (SEAoT) Annual State Conference, Nov 1-2, 2018 in Dallas.

Software Update News:

In April we delivered Version 1.02.17 of CloudCalc, the 37^th update of the software since its initial launch in June, 2014. Remember – since CloudCalc is delivered on the cloud, you are automatically up to date every time every time you access the software, without having to install anything new. And our updates are always upward compatible, so you never have to convert old models to run on the latest version of the software.

Version 1.02.17 – Tailoring Output Results to Sync with Selection Set

This release allows you to better manage output results of large models. Instead of having to wade through page after page of results for the entire model, CloudCalc now lets you cut the clutter and view (or print) the results of only those elements that are in your Selection Set – elements that can be selected by Group Name, Member Type, Selection by Window, or simply by double-clicking. Additionally it is very easy to flip between the results of the whole model and a Selection Set, or between various Selection Sets.

For more information on tailoring CloudCalc’s output to the Selection Set, you can read about the update here, or watch our instructional a video.

The Goddess of Industry: Steel Week in Baltimore

Boom times at Sparrows Point steel mill

I spent this week at Steel Week, the AISC’s North American Steel Construction Conference (NASCC) in Baltimore, MD. Every year, this conference is a great opportunity to share the CloudCalc philosophy with steel professionals. Likewise, the week presents a wonderful chance to explore the highlights of the host city (as you can see from these dispatches I wrote from Nashville and Orlando in previous years).

So arriving in Baltimore, I had to check out the points of interest. (Actually, once here, I realized that I have a little history with Baltimore. My first job out of school was with Bechtel in Gaithersburg, MD…and as a young engineer I took my EIT exam — called the “Fundamentals of Engineering” exam these days — in the Baltimore Convention Center, the same building that is hosting the NASCC!) Inner Harbor, check. Fort McHenry, check. Camden Yards, check. And now Sparrows Point! Continue reading →

In honor of Steel Week 2018, we are proud to reprise this report from a previous NASCC Conference:

Greetings from Orlando – Where Engineering Dreams Come True

“What am I going to do, now that I’ve designed the Super Bowl stadium? I’m going to Disney World!”

“I’m going to Disney World!” We all know that is the destination of choice for Super Bowl winning quarterbacks, but earlier this month, it also became the destination for many of the 4,000+ structural steel professionals that attended the AISC’s National Association of Steel Construction Conference (NASCC 2016 – The Steel Show) in the Orlando, FL area.

Sure there was plenty to keep structural engineers’ interest at the conference itself, including the hundreds of exhibitors, the array of technical presentations (including CloudCalc’s presentation), and last but not least, the gorgeous structural steel supporting the St. Augustine Dome of the host Gaylord Palms Resort. But I’m sure that many of the attendees made it their business to get away from the conference and indulge some fantasy at the Magic Kingdom, a few miles to the north. Continue reading →
