Hand calc verifications of our modules

Show Your Work

Today, everything must be defensible. Provable. Documented.

Engineers get asked “How’d you get this number?”

Building transparency like this into an existing app is a big job, but that’s ok. We don’t mind. Remember, our entire engineering team used to be where you are. In the grind. Designing with ENERCALC. Trying to get home for dinner on time.

Some of these efforts are works in progress. Feedback is ALWAYS welcome.

We want to make it clear that one of our core values, transparency, applies to our software as much as it does to how we do things as a company.

Hand calc verifications

In addition to the documentation supplied with the software, we have a growing collection of verification calculations available for review.

These are straightforward, engineer-to-engineer comparisons that show how each ENERCALC module’s results align with hand calculations and code references. Our goal is to provide transparency and confidence in the accuracy of every design module.

Each verification document includes calculation details, references to design provisions, and step-by-step results for easy checking. Please use the links below to access the verification materials for each module.
