A Project Approach

The Structural Engineering Library has at its core the Project Manager, an ever evolving layout that allows you to build a calculation document.

As you know all engineering project contract documents have two parts : drawings and calculations. Our role is assisting you in preparing your engineering calculations….. which ultimately include hand calculations, software calculations, your standard calculations in PDF format, your own Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, documents produced with Microsoft Word (either your own or product specification sheets), and perhaps even scanned images on sketches or site conditions.

The ENERCALC Project Manager is a file structure that wraps up all these separate documents into a single Project that can be managed and printed as your building department submittal.

We mentioned it is an ever evolving environment. Presently we give you the ability to include ENERCALC calculations, WORD documents, Excel spreadsheets, scanned images and Adobe Acrobat PDF files. As the product matures any number of other media formats can be added as we develop a module to attach the item to our Project Manager.

In addition to the these abilities the Project Manager has sections to let you keep track of the myriad data of a project….client, site, building department, revisions, designer notes and more.

Simply scroll within the organized information of the project manager and click to access your document. Have a RISA frame analysis printout? Just print it to an Acrobat file and mark it as “external”. At print time the latest edition of that RISA printout will be included in the full set of calcs that are produced.
