What are the Top 5 Important Civil Engineering Softwares ? best civil softwares ? awesome civil engineering softwares ?

Civil engineering is one of the most important stream among all others streams like Mechanical, Electrical, Computer science and other aspects. in this article I will explain you what are most important civil engineering 5 softwares.

The civil engineering deals with the planning, design, construction and maintenance of the buildings, bridges, roads and other civil structures.

As per the requirements of present day construction the top 5  softwares are classified in to following types.

    1. Auto CAD

    2. STAAD Pro

    3. CSI ETABS

      4. SAP 2000

    5. 3DS Max

1. AUTO CAD software in Top 5 civil engineering softwares

CAD is a computer aided and drafting software application. This software can be used by civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering streams. The first Auto CAD software was developed by Auto Desk Company in 1982 and named as interact CAD. The commands are the major instructions used in Auto CAD for planning and modeling for 2D and 3D objects.

2. STAAD Pro V8i software in 

STAAD Pro is the structural analysis and designing programming. This program was developed by research engineers international in 1997 year.

In late 2005 this package was bought by Bentley systems from research engineers international. This software package is one of the most widely used structural analysis and designing software world wide.

The modeling, analysis and design of civil engineering structures adopted in this package depending upon the requirements of the engineer, this was in 2nd number in our Top 5 civil engineering softwares list.
