I am a fellow engineer (Satellites in my case) and we have been fed up with engineering-tools in general (specially systems engineering), which seems to only consist of Excel-Spreadsheets and document-management systems. Even in the space industry there has been practically no innovation since the 60's more than digitalization of documents.

We are working since 1.5 years with some engineers on a software to solve this: www.valispace.com

I would be curious to hear from you whether what we are building with a focus on the space-industry also applies to structural engineering.
