promechanica versus risa
(OP)
I am working for a small company that does mechanical (product) development and design, and civil engineering(roads, subdivisions, drainage). I am the new (only)structural. I have risa 3d which I bought for myself. I would like Risa floor. The owners are a bit reluctant, understandably, to spend any more money on design software given the cost of the promechanica package they own. I have agreed to look at the capabilities of both. This weekend. I have just finished flipping through the instruction mauals for the "structural" sections of pro e mechanica. Am I wrong or is this the equivalent of trying to use a nasa crawler to tow my compact pick up truck to my garage? Has anyone doing building structures in a small company used promechanica for design - I mean like wood and steel and beams and columns for traditional structures? Does anyone have any input that I can add to my misgivings, BEFORE I spend all weekend on these manuals? Has anyone used RISA floor? Do you like it?
thanks
thanks

By the way, in my humble opinion, a "good" program is not measured by how thick its manual is.

I think that a good software has to prevailed with or without a thick or a thin manual, because you´ll got to have a good technical supportby phone, online, etc. So, why i will need to buy a 600 page book in order to know how to use Excel for example???, anyway hand calculations has to be the sure way to review your software.
