saurabhjain Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Let me start this list , by very basic software AutoCad By AutoDesk Every one must be knowing abt this AutoCad 2007 has also been relaesed About AutoCAD 2007? Design, visualize, and document your ideas clearly and efficiently with AutoCAD software. From conceptual design through drafting and detailing, AutoCAD 2007 enables you to explore ideas like never before. Create, edit, and develop design alternatives using realistic solids and surfaces in an updated design environment. Communicate your ideas with powerful sketch, shadow, and rendering tools, including intuitive walk-through animations. Then turn your concepts into a set of documents with the new section and flatten functionality. It’s all here, whether you’re creating, exploring, managing, or communicating, Me still using 2005 but read abt this 2007 The new conceptual design and visualization tools introduced in AutoCAD 2007 help you realize your ideas to sell your vision to a client, make presentations to a nontechnical audience, or even communicate your design intent to the shop floor.

backup Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Though I see almost all what I know have been told by others, but one missed is NASTRAN, a software usied for FEA(Finite Element Alaysis). Its good for analysis, but its own solid modellling is not good. For the purpose we can import the file from other softwares(I do from proE). The idea of this listing is really good.

tdavie Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 iHeat Xfer is an app for the iphone and ipad that is used to solve heat transfer problems. It is will calculate power required for heated objects and heated streams and will also estimate surface temperatures. It has a whole database of materials that can be used so it is very handy! I just got it for my iphone and it works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskull Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 There are so many softwares, but in my point of view Mech-Q is the best. Because it contains, a full engineering suite designed to work inside your existing CAD Software. Support all versions of AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, and more. Modules include Mechanical, Piping, Ducting and Structural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 One of the problems with many of these software packages mentioned above is their expense. If you work for company "A" where you get very proficient in software X, what happens when you take a position with company "B" that uses software Y? Presumably the software packages X and Y do similar things, but in their own formats, and they are not compatible. Further, if you want to work on something on the side, for your own interest, will you be able to use the company's software for your personal work? Years ago (before the end of the Ice Age), engineers all used slide rules, but every engineer provided his own slide rule at work. There were many different brands (K&E, Dietzen, Post, etc.) but they all worked about the same (some small variations), and they gave the same results. You could use your slide rule at work and on your home projects; it was yours. For this reason, I encourage people to use public domain software, rather than proprietary software. Several folks above have mentioned MatLab, but no one has mentioned SciLab. SciLab is public, available for free, and works just about like MatLab. Why do so few use public software? This baffles me. There are other similar situations regarding other types of software. DrD saurabhjain, pawar Digambar and thcinar 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
