    No, I'm not talking about joining another social networking site (unless it's Be Communities, of course). I'm talking about the nuts and bolts of the steel structure you're designing. And if you're designing that steel structure in one of our structural…

    I've been attending a lot of tradeshows and seminars this fall and one topic in particular is consistent amongst all of them: Building Information Modeling (BIM). It's apparent that structural engineers in general have not adopted BIM in their offices…

    I don't know who this man was or what type of engineer he was, or whether or not he was even a man, but this is certainly a wise statement. I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't. Structural engineering software is complex, even a little dangerous…
