Evaluation of Selected Software Packages for Structural Engineering Works

There are confusions on the software to be used in the analysis and design of building structures as there are hundreds of Structural Engineering software applications in the world today. Majority of these software applications operate on certain criteria which makes them suitable for some projects and unsuitable for some. There is a need to research the strength and weakness of some of these software tools to help structural engineers in the selection of the best application in their daily tasks. In this paper, 17 different Structural Engineering software tools were evaluated based on their functional strengths. From the study, it was observed that different software applications have different functions and therefore, it is impossible to say one is better than the other. However, some software application can execute general structural engineering works which makes them versatile but at the same time, quite complex to handle when compared with others.
