About

CalcSteel is a web-based structural steel design and analysis platform built to make professional engineering tools affordable and accessible. It features a full 3D browser editor that allows engineers to model structures directly online without downloads or installations. The platform includes a 6 DOF FEM solver and design verification according to major international standards such as AISC 360, Eurocode 3, NBR 8800, AS 4100, and IS 800. With over 640 steel profiles available, users can quickly assign sections and loads to their structural models. CalcSteel enables engineers to analyze, verify, and generate professional documentation and PDF drawings within minutes. Unlike traditional structural software that costs thousands per year, CalcSteel offers a free tier and paid plans starting at accessible monthly pricing. Designed for structural engineers, fabricators, firms, and students, it provides professional-grade tools without enterprise-level costs.

About

FireFlow Studio for FDS is a fully integrated Windows GUI for NIST's Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), built by a practising fire safety engineer for fire engineering consultancies. It covers the complete workflow in one application: 3-D geometry modelling with DXF floor-plan tracing and automatic voxelisation of arcs and circles, multi-mesh setup with visible cells and MPI splitting, a guided fire-design wizard with a D* flame-resolution calculator, one-click runs of the bundled unmodified FDS solver with live monitoring of HRR and device outputs, and an integrated 3-D results viewer with slices, boundary quantities, smoke rendering, scenario-comparison tabs and CSV/PNG export. A built-in finite-element heat-transfer solver is live-coupled to the running FDS simulation, so structural steel temperatures develop alongside the fire with no external FEA package. Hand-written FDS decks round-trip.
