Common Softwares in Australia ?

Common Softwares in Australia ?

Common Softwares in Australia ?

(OP)
Hello

i am going to work as Civil Engineer ( Structure Designer ) in Australia

which softwares are common in Australia to Design Steel and Concrete Structures ?


Thanks all

RE: Common Softwares in Australia ?

Hello colleague! I'm not sure what is going on particularly in Australia, but throughout the world the most common cad/cae programs are made by Autodesk, It's Autocad (and uncounted utilities based on it like Revit structure) for drawing and autodesk Robot for calculations (structural analysis). These programs are "famous" hence quite expensive thus small companies use less common programs...
About payment I assume it should be about 70 thousands $ per year.
But I may be wrong =)

BTW it's great idea to work in australia, it's gorgeous country though I have never been there.

eng78,
common software for modelling with steel design addon are: microstran, spacegass, multiframe, teds and a few others.

concrete design: RAPT, teds, csc and inducta.

I personally use, RAPT and microstran, I find both of these to be quite useful.
