Structural Software- Most Bang for Buck??
Structural Software- Most Bang for Buck??
(OP)
Hello all,
I'm an early career engineer, (2.5 yrs) interested in making a move from a smaller hometown company to a larger structural company in the city. While I understand that ultimately I will have to learn and adapt to the in-house software that my future employer uses, I am interested in becoming more adept at computational structural design in general.
My question is, what software do most structural engineers use? There seem to be a number of them on the market. Is there one that is most popular? One that is good to start with? What are your recommendations?
I have some experience with Risa3D and a little bit with SAPP2000. None with STADD Pro.
thanks everyone

I don't know what kind of work you're looking to do, but I think your time would be better spent downloading REVIT (free to use in demo mode, but you can't save) and learn that. Just a suggestion.
If you're looking for some free, no frills FEA software to mess around with; check out mastan2.com.
