摘要

Software systems available today give structural engineers the ability to come uprnwith very detailed, efficient designs complete with CAD drawings and quantity take-offsrnin a matter of hours, not days. Moreover, these software systems provide the engineerrnwith design options to help arrive at optimal structural designs quickly. This is importantrnbecause during the early budget phase of a project, the structural engineer is oftenrnperforming work he may never get paid for unless the team wins the project. In additionrnand in general, structural engineers are continually being asked to do more, often timesrnwith less fee, making it difficult to remain profitable.
