Research and custom development
Structural engineering software, verified in the open.
What we do
Twenty-five years of structural engineering software.
RCL Consulting is Renier Cloete's company: a career spent building structural analysis and design software, a PhD in steel connections, and years teaching finite element analysis to practising engineers.
Research
Engineering software you can check, shaped with engineering offices and tested against published benchmarks.
Our research →Custom development
Calculation tools, plug-ins for the design software your office already uses, and finite element studies, scoped and priced before work starts.
Work with us →Open source
Software for public institutions, given away under a licence that keeps it open: Wombat, for medical training.
Social responsibility →Principles
Results you can check by hand.
Every result traced
Each result shows where it came from, so a checker can follow it line by line.
Benchmarks published
Checked against a testbench of benchmark problems, with the verification examples published with each release.
The engineer signs
The software supports the responsible engineer. It never takes their place.
