Q – At $95.00, why is SED priced so far below its competitors? The product is so feature-rich, it seems you could charge much more.
A - We have priced SED so that more than just large engineering and construction firms can afford the program. We want to put the program into the hands of students, home handymen and contractors as well as individual engineers and architects. Pricing SED as aggressively as we have is our way of doing this. We priced SED for what it is, a high quality tool that delivers exceptional value for the investment. At this price, we don’t consider SED as having any competitors!

Q – How can SED help a home handyman?
A – SED can provide answers to many design and build questions. SED can determine the proper size and material to use when doing minor construction or remodeling jobs as well as answering general questions, such as “ …how much does my house really weigh?”

Q – I’m a Civil Engineer. How can SED help me?
A - SED can be used to determine the appropriate size and material to use in most civil engineering and architectural design problems. Things like traffic signal masts, overhead directional signage, street light poles, temporary cover plates among others can all be specified using SED. SED makes an extensive audit and report trail available to the user as well.

Q – How can I be certain that SED is giving me the correct answers?
A – SED follows generally accepted engineering practices and principles. As the references indicate, the designers and developers of SED used a large library of standard engineering documentation. In addition, every equation that SED uses is available for review in SEDs printed and online documentation.

Q – I’m a mechanical design engineer. I need a tool that helps me design very small odd shaped parts. Is SED something that I should be using?
A – The answer to this question is a resounding yes! SED is the only tool available today that performs stress and deflection computations on parts that range from microscopic to majestic in size. For example, SED can calculate the stress and deflection on a glass rod 0.001” in diameter and 0.5” long with a 3 ounce cantilevered load as accurately as it can calculate the stress and deflection on a ASTM A36 W 335 I beam 1200” long with a 2,000,000 pound load concentrated in the center of the beam.
