Quick and simple engineering that is accessible and backed up.

All calculations are backed up in real time, and accessible anywhere. It is simple and easy to understand and there are explanations of what each of the available fields are used for.

This software is still in development and many of the features are not quite finished yet, but whenever I contact their support team I receive feedback quickly and they have even added features in after I have requested them.

Simplification is the end game here. ClearCalcs is able to easily channel somewhat difficult engineering mathematics while maintaining reliability and yielding few to no error. This allows the user to spend more time and energy focusing on decision making, and not equations. Overall the items are displayed as to how each sum was totaled and calculated and it also gives in-depth reasoning as to "why" the ratio is provided and what it represents in each case.

One of the biggest pros for us with ClearCalcs is that our engineers have access to the most current work templates. This is mainly due to the fact that ClearCalcs is could based as opposed to a downloadable program. We don't specifically need to employ IT specialists because the software updates on it's own. Team members have access to quick and efficient means to cooperate and finish tasks in short time. Organizational sharing on multiple formatted devices is another extended benefit.

ClearCalcs, on the whole, is great. I will say that there are a few small glitches that could be worked out. Once in a while we have to do a remote reset of the webpage. A positive to offset this would be that one can request certain things to be added on to the software package, and ClearCalcs attempts to assist in any way possible, sometimes even adding on your request.

A nightmare!! [sensitive content hidden] was a complete failure !! and a waste of my time. I had to spend my weekend figuring out your software so I can get my report.

Nothing!! your cloud base software is bogus.

Your software support and your lack of it.

Faster design, more accurate design, easier to modify calculations, just all around better than a spreadsheet and hand calcs and significantly cheaper and more reliable than any other calculations software I have used.

Rep and the team have been amazingly helpful, any issues are resolved almost instantly, faster than any other commercial calculation software I have used and they actually care. The support team are here in Australia and Rep has taken the time to personally contact me to see what my needs were and how ClearCalcs could assist my engineering design. The regular updates and Beta versions for upcoming are amazing. I have been able to provide feedback on some of the features I thought would benefit my experience and Rep and the team have worked their magic to include them. Its been a very rewarding experience and I should have found ClearCalcs sooner!

The only real negative is that when switching between calcs it does take a couple of seconds to re-run the numbers and provide the results. I'm not sure if thats just my internet connection, the servers or what. But considering I can really only nit-pick a 2-3 second delay when switching between calcs, the software is pretty flawless.

This software is very easy to use and makes doing many computations at once a breeze. The customer support is especially good as it seems any issues I have that arise are solved within only a couple of weeks. Seems to be a far superior product to other similars I've used in the market and appears to be improving much more rapidly than the others too. The front end is also especially nice looking and easy to read and the cloud server makes it really easy to use from anywhere which is a major benefit over competitors.

The software is still missing a couple of features which would be nice additions but I imagine these will get added soon (for example I requested the option for T-Lintels to be allowed point loads and this got added in)

Had an engineering firm for 32 years with 14 employees in different disciplines and expensive software (AutoCAD, Revit, StruCalc, etc.) for special areas. ClearCalcs provides a great tool for foundation, framing, retaining walls, etc. of residential and light commercial buildings. It is a great tool to allow a small engineering firm to do projects that a large firm can't do cost effectively. With some more basic CAD capabilities it would be even better. I see ClearCalcs as a niche product for smaller (1 - 50 ) engineering firms; not really meant for high rise major commercial building projects. Please keep going the direction that I have experienced with you.

Ease of use is very good and learning curve is short. Support has been great, and webinars are also a great way to learn more and obtain Continuing Education credits.

Sometimes a little difficult to find the right input for a design - the info buttons are helpful.

Very suitable for a contractor and engineering firm.

Easy to learn and understand software. You don't need to know everything about the basics. The software has all the data you need.

The speed at which you made a calculation.

The software saves me at least 5x the amount of time as spreadsheets used to take

Linking loads. Variety of design options

Nothing really I don’t like. More design modules will be great though

positive

The beam computations and ease to check member capacities

there is not much to dislike about clear calcs.

Quick and easy to learn and use for engineers.

The great aspec of ClearCalcs is how simple and easy it is to use it in order to compute structural analysis calculations. It's an awesome tool to have preliminary output, specially that it's a cloud based software and no installation is required.

It's simplicity comes at a small price: certain factors and inputs cannot be changed in order to give a product as simple as it is. More complex calculations should be done on more advanced softwares.

The learning curb is steep and intimidating to someone who needs answers without taking a semester to figure things out. In trying to be all things to everybody, you may have missed the boat for the kind of work that most people do.

The software has a complexity that other software does not, allowing me to use it for quite a number of different analyses.

Tech support is not the best. I asked about a project that I was working on. The response that I got was that CC does not do project reviews. I can understand that. But, I could have gotten a review of how I was using modules in the job to verify that I was using them correctly. The CC guys are the only ones whom I can ask. No one else in my firm knows how to use the software. Some of the terminology in the app is oriented toward full civil engineers, not other engineers who are doing civil engineering. Yes, CC has a range of how-to videos, but they do not cover all of my questions. Having people learn by videos also makes the learning curve just a little less steep than reading a manual. So, it comes down to this: if I can't get answers for my questions and get answers in a timely manner, I am not going to use the software. I find StruCalc much easier to use and more intuitive. Those guys also use terminology that I better understand along with simple illustrations that tend to be more understandable than the ones used by CC. The new version for StruCalc is also dropping today. I can't wait. You guys could try a little harder with your help. Keep in mind that most of the people using your software likely are solo or solo plus one. Your tech support is it for us. That's why I don't want to hear about company policies. I need people who know how to ask questions to help me get where I need to go.

increased profitability

Speed and no cumbersome model setup leads to increased design options and profitability. The maths is all set out, so it's easy to follow when I get an usual result - usually due to an input error on my part.

I would like more calcs developed so I can get rid of my other software. Concrete columns, suspended slabs, beams and cantilevered block retaining walls would be wonderful to have. I know the team is working hard and the calcs are progressing well.

ClearCalcs definitely has the best customer service in the industry, by far! Not only do they feature live webinars on a variety of software features, but any questions or concerns are addressed within hours. Furthermore, ClearCalcs uses customer feedback to prioritize their future software developments, which means they actually listen to and respect their customers!

The software is that it is very robust and I can confidently design just about anything I need for my business.

Being that I was trained on another software that I used for years, it has taken me time to acclimate to the ClearCals software philosophy...so the learning curve was steeper than I thought it would be.

I'm getting more acquainted with software and therefore finding ease of use and power of the software increasing every time.

Ease of use, great output and options. Great tech support and response.

Some features I'd like to add, but they are looking into suggested features always!

Fantastic, easy to use and most importantly accurate

Nothing so far. I am very satisfied with their product

I'm still coming up to speed with some of ClearCalcs features, but they provide tremendous support along with great learning tools, so learning this software is not a problem.

The software is great, but the customer service and technical support is absolutely excellent. I've never encountered such responsive support from a software company before.

No complaints. Support is very responsive and the software is easy to use.

The web based nature and auto save feature are very convenient. Customer service is the better I have experienced with EVERY other program I have used. The feature set is exactly what I need as an architect to design my projects and get them approved by the building department.

The capabilities: truss design and cold formed metal framing were two modules I never thought I could find in a package at this cost. The output options allow me to control how much information I choose to print and it all formats properly. Load paths are more intuitive than what I previously used.

I had to figure out the input configuration since I had used Strucalc for over a decade. Material and section/size selection is a little cumbersome, but having the adequacy shown immediately makes up for having to scroll through the many options.

You can complete routine job in minutes, linked loads with model, linked member design with model

User friendly software with many capabilities to easy life of structural enginert

Great customer care

It is relatively easy to use. There are layers to the program that allow you to transfer over for footings from ridge beams headers, pretty helpful.

The design engineering was real conservative

So far it has been amazing

The assistance provided by Clear cals is like no other

We have only been using Clear calcs for a short time

I just started so I'm still learning.

Glulam sizing. Help button. The printout, export, was good.

I wish there were a tutorial that would show: "This is how the size of an 8' Glulam is determined that has 15' - 2x6 ceiling joists @ 16" on center on the left side and 13' - 2x10 ceiling joists on the right side.

This software is affordable with great technical support. I like how all the files are organized and saved to the browser interface. I am able to most everything I need to do for my small engineering firm.

Occasionally I run into an error mainly with the truss and portal frame wizards. But that is probably because I am trying to do something crazy that is not standard.

ease to input the data. the presentation of calculation and output is good.

the envelope does not show the critical load case

Eas of use and readability, explanations and quick cust service response

It would be nice to be able to adjust location snow loads and wind loads so that we don’t have to reenter the data for each member

If ClearCalcs has a calculation for it, I use it exclusively. I have yet to find another software out there with UI, output, and calculations that are even close to ClearCalcs. I am extremely happy to have found ClearCalcs for my structural calculations.

The features, user interface, and cost easily make ClearCalcs the best and most value for money option out there for structural engineering calcs.

Some of the inputs are a little slow and there could be a few more options for calculations including retaining walls, but they are constantly working through improving the available calculations and improving the UI.
