To build better future
Overview
Three level products
- CET.Calculators
- CET.APIs (pyCET)
- CET.SMD (Steel Mmeber Design) and CET.SCD (Steel Connection Desgin)
Calculators are the fundamental product. They are running in the cloud. By using compiled Javascript technology, the core calculation part is 6 times faster than normal Javascript code. And Calculators provide the rich UI for users, with 2D drawings, Latex math equations and others. With the help of Markdown format, users can copy the generated Markdown code and create their own PDF reports (including drawings and math equations). The purpose of Calculators is to provide the handy tools for engineers, designers, detailers, by covering the most design formulas, tables from AISC references
There are no download/registration about Calculators. User could run the Calculators anywhere, from cellphone, pad to desktop machine.
APIs (pyCET) is high-level product based on Calculators. Both share the same calculation functionalism. APIs will cover almost every part of calculators. However, APIs needs user to have programing skills and it doesn’t have build-in UI. Users could use Jupyter Lab or Google Colab to build the UI. On the other side, APIs is very powerful comparing to Calculators. Users can use APIs to design members/connections of the whole project. Please check github pyCET_demo project to see how APIs is working.
While Calculators and APIs are calculation software, member/connection designs are real design software. They are using the same calculation core as Calculators and APIs, but add a lot features to handle complex situations. Also they can design members and connections automatically and efficiently, by using the powerful design engine with deep learning or other cutting-edge technology. They have nice UI with 3D display and can create 2D drawing and PDF reports.
