Happy Thanksgiving, Diwali, and Guy Fawkes Day from CloudCalc!

That must mean it’s the November, 2015 edition of the CloudCalc Newsletter, bringing you the latest developments in the world of Structural Analysis in the Cloud www.cloudcalc.com:
  • On November 12, Tom Van Laan, CloudCalc CEO, guest-taught the CloudCalc software to a graduate class in structural dynamics at Rice University.  We invite any other engineering schools to use CloudCalc in their classrooms as well – contact us at info@cloudcalc.com if you have any questions.
  • This month CloudCalc reached the magic threshold of 1500 registered users.  Thank you to all who have signed up; special thanks go to User porfirio who joined us on November 20 as user #1500.  Please help us get to our next milestone of 2000 by telling your friends and colleagues about CloudCalc!
Software Update News:

This month we delivered our 24th update of the software since its initial launch in June, 2014.  Remember – since CloudCalc is delivered on the cloud, you are automatically up to date every time every time you access the software, without having to install anything new.  And our updates are always upward compatible, so you never have to convert old models to run on the latest version of the software. 

Version 1.02.04
  • Added the option for either Mass Normalization or Unity Normalization for the extracted Modes of Vibration during dynamic analysis 
  • Removed the limit of 5 when viewing/animating/printing Modes of Vibration
  • For demonstrations of CloudCalc’s Dynamic Analysis, we invite you to visit CloudCalc’s YouTube page.  For an example showing Mode of Vibration extraction, click here: https://youtu.be/x9hm8Fe_s5E  For an example showing Response Spectrum analysis, click here: https://youtu.be/aRlk_n4vyo4

Can’t make it as an engineer?  Then maybe consider football player…
 
I’ve never been able to come up with any association between Thanksgiving and engineering (Tension on a wishbone?  Buckling of pumpkin pie crust?), so I figured I had a good excuse to take this week off from the blog.  But then I read some engineering-flavored Thanksgiving news and decided that when offered inspiration I have to grab it.Continue reading →
