Hi Brendan, I am a practicing SE in San Francisco. We do a lot of Performance Based Design using the software Perform 3D (a CSI product). You might want to a video on PBD at some point as your viewers will certainly find it interesting. And thank you for doing this and bringing our profession to the forefront.

@mangoandguitar

Great video!

Software (besides MS office/ open office) that I personally put on my list in order of priority by use and value/ purchase order:

1. BricsCAd/ Auto CAD/ Revit
2. Structural Tool Kit
3. Spacegas
4. Bluebeam

For more complicated structures

1. RAPT
2. Etabs
3. Ram Concept (for concrete) / Strand 7 (for steel)

@MengLim

Yes bro structural engineer is the skill for smart people. Structural engineer is always challenges. 
I have used ETABS for doing structural analysis, CSI Safe for RC slab design and check deflection, Adapt builder for PT slab design and check. For structural elements such as Beam column I use etabs and compare result with Spcolum, MathCAD 15/Prime. And also Midas design plush. Thank you for this intro and best wish for all structural engineers. I have created sharing platform can visit, Wish.!

@anibaltv845

if I can give any advice that will help you for life is to dedicate time and create your own spreadsheets, in excel or on mtc, you can buy premade sheets but you won't know them and why they decided to use certain methods and leave out certain others, do your own and keep improving it and it will help you throughout your career.

@noorulhaq7815

You the best tutor.. I'm GLAD to found u

@PeterRanieriII

at least here in New York, USA for buildings, it's moving towards Revit and RAM with Bluebeam being the documentation and pdf coordination/markups go-to.

@ericstoddard9866

Good list! Don’t forget about the FEM giants such as ansys or abaqus. Although they are not used much with practicing engineers, research and defense engineers rely greatly on them. Great video.

@rvatina

Thanks for your content! Idea for future videos - general tips&tricks for modeling a 3D concrete structure in any FEM software (walls, beams, plates, beams) - boundary conditions, coupling beams, avoiding numerical errors, etc...

@FernandoCarddoso

Hey Man Whats up ? Your channel is pretty  good, I'm a civil engineer  in Brazil, a hug and keep doing this nice  work

@lucasle73

LOVE THISSSSS! This type of video is just what i need

@tech_techer-k7s

Thanks for the video!!
The most anticipated video!!

@sonofsun761

Brendan thanks for very useful contents,i have a suggestion which if you can design step by step(from surveying to finished structure) a full timber,concrete,steel structures with explanation in videos i will be very glad to join your private membership. only for residential building

@CIVILENGINEERHUB

In India we use staad pro and etab only

@DeepakKrishna11

So what I am getting is that one must know basic hand calcs and concepts about structural properties before jumping into any software.

@jan-weber

Frilo for calculation and allplan for drawing. 😎👍

@craigf3624

One of the issues I have with programs, for example like SAP, is that they model the completed structure.  With concrete structures, certain loads, particularly dead-loads are "locked in" at various stages of construction.  Therefore, composite section properties may not apply to certain loads, for example, a heavy concrete wall sitting on a concrete slab the was cast earlier.  This may result in minor stress inaccuracies in many cases but not all.

@PaulGrosvenor1

It's be great to hear more about how you've used python in structural engineering.

@maarirs12894

Fantastic sir. Loved the video. MathCAD was mind blowing to me.😅 I was just thinking yesterday while doing rcc design,  checking the calculation is so hard with excel…

@jhimjimmapa7919

Great video. 

I wonder what your insight about Staad.

@tribby3d

Great video Brendan! Hoping to see Tribby3d on the list next year :)
