Are you an engineer? Do you play one on TV?

I am a licensed structural engineer and I developed Section as a reference app I wanted but could not find in the app store. Now that I have it, I use it all the time. When I am at work, on the job site, or wherever engineering problems need to be solved Section aids me in my calculations.

It is incredibly useful to be able to calculate the section properties of various sections without having to carry a big reference books around.

If you are a practicing engineer, student, professor, or fabricator you will want this app.

Section does not have a terrible user interface we are all so accustomed too in our typical engineering apps. A lot of time was spent crafting a user interface that is extremely functional and simply pleasing to look at.

The app has all the standard sections you would find in most reference books. Not only can you see the required formulas, the calculations are done for you.

I hope you find Section as useful as I have!

Structural Engineer
Great app. How about adding channel section to this app? Thanks much.
Very helpful!
Great tool. I like how it shows the equations used alongside the calculated results. Helps back of the envelope calculations. I even use it at my desk because it is faster than digging through the steel manual.
Worthless
Terrible Dont waste your time. Open to a channel section and it doesnt have one. Waste of $$
