Abstract
Structural engineering software continues to evolve through the addition of more capabilities, interfaces with other software, and updated reference standards. These are all for the benefit of streamlining the process of design in the hope that significant time can be saved for structural engineers. However, with this increase in capabilities comes an increase in the complexity of the software to the point where some people may conceive the software as a black box. Additionally, there is still a lack of understanding in knowing how to confidently check the results. Defined herein are specific steps that structural engineers can take to reduce the chance of making errors and to simplify the process of verifying results by creating a software error reduction plan (SERP). In addition, a discussion on tips and steps to reduce errors for integrating structural engineering software with BIM software will be discussed.
