Notes on structural analysis, design standards, and how the Coriolis tools compute what they compute.https://integraph.com.au/en-auhttps://integraph.com.au/blog/one-sign-convention-across-every-tool/https://integraph.com.au/blog/one-sign-convention-across-every-tool/Sign errors do not crash anything. They produce a plausible number with the wrong sense, and they survive review. So we fixed the convention once, platform-wide.Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTengineeringstandardsproducthttps://integraph.com.au/blog/exact-section-properties-for-curved-geometry/https://integraph.com.au/blog/exact-section-properties-for-curved-geometry/Most section tools approximate an arc with a polygon and quietly inherit the error. GCS integrates the arc, and reserves faceting for the places that genuinely need it.Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTengineeringsection-propertieshttps://integraph.com.au/blog/why-we-would-rather-show-you-an-error/https://integraph.com.au/blog/why-we-would-rather-show-you-an-error/Structural software is judged on the numbers it prints. We think it should be judged on the numbers it refuses to print.Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTengineeringproduct
