Welcome to my blog!
I am a structural engineer with almost 20 years of experience in the design of nuclear and industrial facilities, factories, residential and public buildings. I am also a fan of engineering, mathematics and programming and you will find a lot of interesting stuff about that here.
For all these years I’ve been dealing mostly with calculations. I have developed a lot of custom spreadsheets and macros to automate my job, using various tools like Excel, VBA, MathCAD, etc. Each of them had a lot of advantages, but I also stumbled upon different kinds of problems.
That is why I created Calcpad. It is a simple but powerful mathematical platform for engineering calculations:
- It is easy to learn and use. No special programming skills are required, which makes it suitable for all engineers.
- Calculations are automatically documented into beautiful Html reports that are easy to follow and check.
- Calcpad spreadsheets can be published online. Web forms are generated automatically out of the source code.
It combines the simplicity of spreadsheets with the power and flexibility of programming in an elegant way. In this blog you will find detailed information about CalcPad, useful tips and tricks, sample code and solutions of variable problems.
