Why is ProCetus so easy to learn?

Simply because the workflow of ProCetus follows the exact same pattern as the Engineering Brain.

We have added a Tutorial with a Real Life Project. This Tutorial will guide you step by step through every phase of Modeling, Analyzing and Optimizing a Vessel Support Structure. Using this Tutorial you will be exposed to the majority of functions and features contained in ProCetus. You will be productive within hours. When you get back to it, you wont have lost your expertise because your Brain and ProCetus will still be at the same wavelength.

The Tutorial in a nutshell:
Print the Structure Geometry Draft and Outline Sketch that comes with the Tutorial.
With the draft and sketch of the structure beside you, you first determine and position the Space you want to work in (Global Coordinate System, Vectors and Local Systems). You then position the Nodes. After you have defined the Materials and Sections or Shapes you want to use, you connect the Nodes with Elements. Finally, you specify the Loads and Load Combinations to apply on the structure and you run the Calculation Engine.
That's it, a logical and straight forward process explained step by step using the majority of the features of ProCetus.

The Key to a Significant Reduction of your Project Cycle Times and Costs:
A Swift, Fast and Powerful Tool with a User Friendly Interface.

You need a Straight Forward and Intuitive Tool for the Modeling, Analysis and Optimization of your Structural Designs in order to Significantly Reduce your Project Cycle Times.

Why is ProCetus User Friendly? The reason for this lies in its very simple and clean Table Interface. All data input is done in a logical sequence using these tables. The same applies to Results Tables.

You can switch from any table to any other table with a single click of the mouse. At no time is the Interface cluttered with complex tool boxes or other dialog boxes that most of the time are a real pain in the … (oops, it almost slipped in).

On the contrary, all required functions for the work at hand are available via Speed Buttons with self explanatory icons. These Speed Buttons are always in the same place and are automatically replaced if you move from one table to another. Speed Buttons give you access to over 300 dedicated Dialog Boxes. You always see and find what you need, nothing more, nothing less. And wherever you are, you will consistently find to-the-point help.
