Dear Sir,
I am interested in possibly purchasing the Lite version of your software. I wanted to use the trial version but unfortunately, I run Windows via Parallel software on my MacIntosh computer. I was unable to download the trial sucessfully. Please email me with instructions as to how I can use the trial version and ultimately use the Lite version on my Mac. Thank youi.
same question as above – We are a Mac base company. Is this compatible.
I am interested with lite version, may i have a trial version.
can this version design columns and rafters possibly with a deck for a warehouse .single storey with memez.
StruCalc will install if you have a new mac with the OSX operating system that you can load a version of Windows on.
Does StruCalc Lite include all 11 design modules?
Thank you,
Can you calc lateral analysis for wood stuctures 2 stories and under.
We are looking for beam design software and I believe that StruCalc Lite may be exactly what we are looking for. Is there a downloadable trial version available? Please send me more information on this.
You can download the trial from here and just follow the steps listed. Please email sales@strucalc.com or techelp@strucalc.com if you have any additional questions.
I currently have 2 seats of the Full version in my office.
If one of my designers use the lite version will I beable to open and work with the project file?
If I add a footing or collar tie, with the lite user be able to work with the file?
I need to spec out a deck design to ensure my design meets local building codes. The deck is a multi-level deck, the upper section is 300 sq feet and 98″ above gound level, the lower section is 240 sq feet and at 48″ above ground level.
The deck will exist in a flood plain.
Would StruCalc Lite help me determine footing size, loads on corner and interior posts, post size, beam size, joist size, decking material, etc.? My wife and I are retired and live on Social Security only, so we are looking for a reasonably priced software package that will make the County inspectors feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks for any reply you may have.
Don,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Currently, we are working on expanding the deck design options in StruCalc. For advanced questions like these please submit your questions to strucalc@strucalc.com for a reply from our professional engineers. I have went ahead and forwarded this on for you.
All Lite version files can be opened in the full version of StruCalc. In reverse, not all full version project files can be opened in the Lite software. Any project file that utilizes features that are not available in the Lite version can not open or work with full version files.
However, if a full version file deals only with Lite version features they are compatible.
Please forward this on to strucalc@strucalc.com for more advanced engineering responses.
