Hi,

Some time ago I downloaded C.S.E. for steel design from

Today I have got massage from developer Paolo Rugarli some breathtaking offer: shortly the more willing buyers the cheaper software to pay.

read carefully the email letter I`ve got from developer: maybe some civilea user would be interested in buying C.S.E. software.

THE MORE BUYERS THE CHEAPER


"Dear Colleague,



You downloaded the demo version of our program some time ago: we develop a very advanced software dealing with steel connections.

Please find below, at the end of this message,  a short summary of its current features.



The software has several important features and is quickly growing. However, as the matter is complex, and the software

very general, we understand that it might be difficult to learn it without an help. That is a first issue.



The price of the FULL version, unlimited time license, is 4,500 USD or Euro, depending on the Area you are.

That is a second issue, as this price can be high for many colleagues.



Now I go to the point.



If a high number of colleagues purchases the software (time unlimited license, FULL version), the price can be cut dramatically.

If a high number of new users arrives, we can manage free on line course for all, explaining how to use the software.



Several  hundred colleagues downloaded CSE, so my proposal to all them, and then also to You, is the following.



Would you be interested in buying a time unlimited CSE FULL license at a low price?

If we collect a sufficient number of agreements to the proposal, say a “buying group”,  we will:



-        Sell CSE FULL time unlimited license + 1year maintenance at a very discounted price to all who agreed.

-        Set free on line webinars for an overall duration of 12 hours (three training sessions of 4 hours), and offer it to all new users.

-        Agree a limited maintenance fee to all these users, based on discounted price.



If you are interested reply to this email. Once we have the number of potentially interested people, we can formalize the offer. The offer

will depend on the number of replies. If the number of replies is huge we can arrive to a low fraction of the current price. For lower

number of replies we can however get lower prices.



Increasing the number of users the prices can be lowered. That’s it.

We wish to move forward with our program and independent research.



Many thanks

Paolo Rugarli

-        786 families of parameterized connections.

-        Equal nodes recognition from 3D model.

-        Standards: AISC LRFD (USA), AISC ASD (USA) , BS 5950 (UK), Eurocode 3 (Europe and Singapore), IS (Indian standard), SNiP (Russian)

-        English documentation and program interface

-        Automatic fem modeling and analysis for single components and sets of components (thick plate-shell models).

-        Linear elastic analysis. Geometrically non linear analysis. Plastic analysis. Non linear contact analysis. Buckling analysis.

-        18000+ cross section archive, more sections can be added.

-        New nodes can be parameterized and saved in the archive of parameterized  nodes.

-        Freedom in the creation of the connections and nodes: no rigid mask, components can be placed freely.

-        Bolt checks. Weld checks. Bolt bearing check. Punching shear check. Block tear check. Net cross section check. Pull-out checks. User’s checks. Fem checks.

-        User can “teach” to the program how to check components.
