Spreadsheet simplifies engineering
design
GrafiCalc 2.0 software enables engineers to have the same level of productivity advantage that conventional spreadsheets deliver to accountants for business modelling.
GrafiCalc 2.0 software enables engineers to have the same level of productivity advantage that conventional spreadsheets deliver to accountants for business modelling GrafiCalc 2.0 is self-contained software that allows users to bidirectionally associate geometry, dimensions and "smart" calculations within a single interactive flexible model

The GrafiCalc 3.0 next-generation analysis software plug-in for Autodesk Inventor is available now from Geomate for $995.
Extension adds more modelling flexibility
GrafiCalc 3.0 is a behaviour modelling extension to SolidWorks that allows users to explore multiple design options and "backsolve" exact geometry to satisfy stated design goals.
Then users can manipulate the flexible model to ask and receive instantaneous design decision support information to find the best possible solution.
One of the key new features of GrafiCalc 2.0 is an automated constraint inference technology that allows users to create constrained sketches quickly and easily.
Additionally, GrafiCalc 2.0 constraint manager includes an automated conclusion engine that locks the users original design intents and automatically resolves circularity and the correct geometry topography when plural solutions are possible.
GrafiCalc 2.0 will be especially effective in the premodelling stages of design when users have maximum questions and minimum information while conflicts are easier to detect and less expensive to fix.
Since challenges and their solutions are electronically stored in GrafiCalc models, users can reuse and share the knowledge without reinventing the wheel each time.
GrafiCalc is stand-alone software and can be used by itself as well as in conjunction with all popular CAD packages.
As a Windows standard application, GrafiCalc allows users to fully leverage their investments in other Windows standard calculation, analysis, and communication software.
