There is a lot of structural engineer software, and I will be answering the heated debate on what software does a structural engineer need to know? Although it is important to know how to use the software it is more important to know, what structural design software you should use in each situation. Knowing the different types of software structural engineering available and when to use each is more important than ever.

My name is Brendan, and I am a structural engineer with over 15 years of experience in Australia. I have a wide variety of projects, from very small to some of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. I have a passion for good structural design and teaching/mentoring.
This channel is to share my passion for engineering and provide entertaining short clips on:
- tips for young engineers on progressing their careers
- anyone needing a refresher on any design element
- design approaches
- Review past engineering failures to improve structural knowledge
