Review for SureLift: Tilt-up Concrete Panel Analysis

When I first was looking for a programmer, I had a difficult time finding the right one. What I needed in a program included too many features for the smaller programmers I had met with. Also, many programmers I met lacked the engineering knowledge needed to discuss what I needed. AEDA ended up being the only programming company that I met with that could both accommodate all the features I needed and were able to speak the engineering language needed for us to communicate properly. Working with them was a pleasure. They were able to listen to the ideas we had, our needs and they made recommendations that helped us get the program that fit all our needs. I was able to communicate the formulas that the program needed to perform by referencing code, simple engineering concepts like shear, moment and stress and professional papers. If I had gone with a different programmer I would have had to break down all the formulas and explain them in detail. AEDA provided us with a program that is simple to operate engineering program, with a visual and that can output to both pdf and AutoCad. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make an engineering program.

Review for FRP Beam Strengthening Analysis

"This is a comprehensive beam flexural strengthening analysis app. It integrates external bonding (EB) and near surface mounting (NSM) technologies in one software. It has a user friendly interface and graphics enabled tools. The Pro version can analyze T and inverted L sections beside the basic rectangle section. The Premium version is equipped with a design optimizer engine that furnishes the least amount of FRP needed to exactly fulfill an ultimate and/or service moment level. The professional design report generated in Pdf format is complete and may be directly stamped. This app is a must for any structural design office."

Review for FRP Beam Strengthening Analysis

"The FRP Beam Strengthening Analysis has greatly reduced my FRP analysis time since all information is in one location. The software is great for quick iterations and the picture helps understand the beam section. The software has saved me multiple hours of design."

Review for FRP Beam Strengthening Analysis

"I’ve spent some time playing with the demo version of the AEDA software from Hayder. It’s quite impressive software (mainly because it’s simple and clear) and will definitely give designers the confidence required to work with GFRP. I can easily include this in my teaching for reinforced concrete design and the demo version easily allows for that. The only thing missing is the GFRP bars. Once that’s included I think you can confidently claim to designers that this software does all the calcs for them so there’s no reason to be afraid of GFRP. There’s even a video on youtube for designers to get started with, it’s very easy to follow."

Review for Pre-stressed FRP Analysis (Custom built)

"The Pre-Stressed FRP Analysis sheet is an amazingly helpful custom built FRP worksheet. The prestressed FRP has several little nuisances and code check but the spreadsheet has made it is very simple to use. The checking functions are great and quick."

Review for FRP Beam Strengthening Analysis

"I have downloaded the Beam software demo and I have started to play with it. I also watched the video on the website. It’s really good! Great job. Please also tell the young guys who are doing the work. I look forward to trying it out some more. I also look forward to the column program which will be very useful."

Review for FRP Residential Wall Designer

"Dr. Rasheed, reaching out to you this morning regarding the vertical wall software you developed for us, and right off the bat I want to commend you on the absolute quality of it! It is extremely intuitive to use and it has made my job of demonstrating it to others in our organization very easy. Working closely with Doug, I know you poured a lot of hours into this and I think the outcome reflects that."

Review for FRP BUILDINGS

"Hi Team, Just a quick email from me to say the software is looking great. I used it for about half an hour today and couldn’t find any issues. All comments from our previous discussions seem to be addressed (such as including shear design), plus there’s some very nice visuals added for the SFD and BMD etc. I had no issues with installation and everything is surprisingly responsive so designers can adjust parameters and see the impact on the design within seconds. I certainly don’t see any problems incorporating this into my University teaching and I expect designers will also adapt to this very quickly. Once again, great job guys! Regards Tom"
