"I have been using Yakpol’s WeldGroup and BoltGroup calculators for almost 20 years now. I find them immensely useful to my day-to-day engineering and have recommended them to every engineer that I work with."
Client Testimonials
Structural engineers have been using yakpol spreadsheets for over 25 years. Here's what they have to say.
"I'm now using GoBeam and I must say, it’s truly an excellent tool. I’ve been in engineering management for many years now, so I don’t do much designing any more. However, occasionally I do like of ‘get my hands into it’ and this is a great way to do so. I’ve made my subordinate engineers aware of the application and encourage them to use it as well. VERY well done!"
"I have been using Yakpol's structural software, including GoBeam, ShortCol and PSLoss, for over 15 years. We use other commercially available analysis software; however, these three programs in particular are often at the top of the toolbox. The programs are very easy to use, extremely intuitive and improve efficiency. The user manuals that accompany these programs are well written and easy to follow. If you're looking for cost effective and high quality structural analysis tools, Yakpol's programs should be at the top of your list!"
"Yakpol's spreadsheets have significantly improved my productivity. Working with them has also taught me a lot about developing my own spreadsheets for structural engineering."
"I've been using WeldGroup and BoltGroup since 2016 and have found them to be easy to use with comprehensive and accurate results. The software has been very economical. I happily recommend it for routine structural engineering connection bolted and welded design."
"I would like to extend my gratitude for the great work you and your team have done. We purchased the license for ShortColEC2 to help in one of our ongoing jobs. As we are still in the midst of transition to Eurocode design, this spreadsheet really helps shorten the design check process by combining all necessary checks in one place. The spreadsheet is very user friendly and easy to understand. We are glad we made the purchase as it truly helps our work and at the same time deepens our understanding of the design process. Thank you for the great work and we hope you continue to excel in developing more similar tools."
"Yakpol spreadsheets are fast and simple solutions to common problems. They are great value for the cost."
"GoBeam is simple and very useful for an engineer's daily work. Highly recommended"
"Until my retirement from engineering, your GoBeam product was in the top tier of my analysis tools. It was ideal for determining support reactions for horizontal vessels which had multiple diameters, multiple wall thickness, multiple interior, or exterior lining thickness (density thickness), etc. The reactions could then be transferred to software used for planning complex lifts of the vessels. The WeldGroup and BoltGroup Analysis tools were also very valuable to me. Another engineering calculation that required the use of your Sect-Prop tool involved determining the section properties of cast steel beams that were composed of multiple stems and flanges. You were always supportive and responsive to my questions."
