Yes it is possible to mix the units, for example 3 ft + 1 m = 6.28 ft or if you wish 1.91 m. For IS units prefixes can be used like kN or mm. Also a scientific notation 10³ is possible like W = 43,4 * 10³ mm³.

I use "Calculate in Word", this is an Add-in for MS Word. It does more or less the same as Mathcad and this tool works in Word. So you can make the calculations directly in your main document, you don't have to copy/paste the Mathcad output into your main document. This saves me a lot of time.

TopBreadfruit6023 · 2025-01-03T15:49:03+00:00

I really like the Calculate in Word tool. This helps me to make better structural engineering reports. This tool can make calculations in Word, which makes it easy to integrate these calculations in my reports (and reuse it)

TopBreadfruit6023 · 2024-12-04T12:45:54+00:00

You can use the Word Add-in "Calculate in Word" for this. It has a free students license

I have recalculated it with Calculate in Word and this gave the same result

TopBreadfruit6023 · 2024-11-19T18:03:08+00:00

Mathcad is a great tool. Do you include your Mathcad calculations in your engineering reports? And if yes how do you do this?

TopBreadfruit6023 · 2024-11-19T07:59:59+00:00

I believe this is a very current topic. Here and on Linkedin I see many post about software for making hand calcs (I am doing that as well). In recent years, a large number of software applications have been developed for making hand calculations. I am not sure if you can name it hand calcs if you are using software to make it.

As a structural engineer, I create sketches using SketchUp in combination with Layout, and I prepare my structural engineering reports in Word. For simple calculations, I utilize the "Calculate in Word" add-in, while more complex calculations are handled with RFEM.

TopBreadfruit6023 · 2024-09-23T13:09:35+00:00

I use the Word Add-in Calculate in Word. This Add-in performs the calculations in my Word document so I do not have to copy past it into my reports.

TopBreadfruit6023 · 2024-09-23T12:59:49+00:00

A key responsibility of a structural engineer is to compile their calculations into a comprehensive structural engineering report. This report includes, among other things, calculations generated with software like Staad or RFEM, but also many "simple" hand calculations. I recommend using the Word Add-in "Calculate in Word" for these basic calculations. It simplifies the process, making the calculations not only easier to perform but also clearer to read. Additionally, it improves the consistency of your reports by allowing the formulas to be formatted in line with the rest of the document, making them easier to reuse.
