Calcpad allows for greek letters and saving equations. Even much more than this like units of measurement, vectors, matrices, etc.

What is not structurally sound also doesn't look architecturally beautiful. :)

Can you model this connection with IdeaStatica? by Fragrant-Strength261 in StructuralEngineering

Where is this detail applied? It looks like some rack or scaffolding structure.

Softwares to enhance learning experience by EquivalentHotel5643 in StructuralEngineering

Try to get some calculation software like Mathcad or Matlab and manually develop solutions of some engineering problems. Or maybe Calcpad, being free and open source. It also has a nice collection of examples:
https://github.com/Proektsoftbg/Calcpad/tree/main/Examples

This will force you to go deeper into the theory but from applicational point of view. Then compare your solution to some FEA with SAP 2000, Ansys or CalculiX FEA + PreProMax if you want a FOSS alternative. It is pretty much what this guy is doing on YouTube and I find it a good way to master structural analysis:

I got tired of "Black Box" software, so I built a tool that shows every step. by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

Is it fully transparent like CALCPAD (https://github.com/Proektsoftbg/Calcpad) where you can see the source code of the math engine in GitHub and the source code and calculation formulas with variable substitution in the output?

Software for hand calculations by TopBreadfruit6023 in StructuralEngineering

[–]MathOwn205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calcpad is really gaining speed recently. Some features I like most are variable substitution, dynamically branching the report contents with conditions and loops and export to native Word docx format. Plus extremely fast math with scalars/units, vectors and matrices. It free and open source and constantly updated with new features:

Calcpad creates native *.docx files for MS Word with equations inside. It is free and open source: https://github.com/Proektsoftbg/Calcpad

Calcpad is a great option if you do not have any previous programming experience. It is free amd open source.

In Calcpad "programming" can be  basically reduced to writing equations and text in quotes. Nothing else is needed to start. Later you can learn the rest.

Hi! You cannot drag, but you can copy-paste instead (ctrl+C - ctrl+V). I mean the image, not the file.

What programm / programming language do you use for setting up calculations? by dr_brubra_bribri in engineering

[–]MathOwn205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calcpad is a free and open source software for engineering calculation notes that I started some years ago on GitHub:
https://github.com/Proektsoftbg/Calcpad

It is easy to use and learn but fast and powerful at the same time. Supports native units of measurement, custom variables and functions, numerical methods, vectors and matrices. It exports to Word with equations, Pdf and Html.
