The Canadian Structural Design Kit

Use analytical calculations and create audit-ready reports in a single environment. Specialized templates for CSA O86, A23.3, and S16, powered by TechEditor.

Includes Wood, Concrete, and Steel solutions.

Go Beyond Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are great for numbers but fail at documentation. Disconnected cells and hidden formulas make your work hard to verify and impossible to print as a formal report.

 

TechEditor changes the game:

Transparent Math

Calculations are "White Box". Every formula is visible, editable, and traceable to CSA codes.

Unified Workflow

Combine technical text, diagrams, and math in one flow. Create complex flowcharts and calculation sheets.

Report-Ready

No copy-pasting to Word. Your calculation workspace is your final PDF report.

Engineered for Canadian Standards

Browse our specialized templates categorized by material and code.

Key Features

1

Native Physical Quantities (Units)

"Support for physical quantities / Automatic conversion"
Stop worrying about unit conversion errors! TechEditor understands physical units (SI & Imperial) and automatically checks dimensionality. Mix kN, ft, and MPa in one line — the engine handles the math correctly.
2

"Living" Document Automation

"Automated data update / Parametric documents"
Your report is not static text! It’s a parametric model. Change an input load or material property, and every formula, result, diagram, and conclusion updates instantly across the entire document.
3

Publication-Quality Aesthetics

"Professional formatting / WYSIWYG"
Engineering reports shouldn't look like spreadsheets! TechEditor provides precise control over typography, layouts, and diagrams. What you see on your screen is exactly what you get in your PDF — perfectly formatted and ready for the client.

Designed for Your Daily Engineering Workflow

Whether you are sizing a beam or submitting a final report, these templates fit your process.

Case 1: Preliminary Sizing (Concept Stage)

Stop guessing member sizes. Use the "Screen View" to instantly test different cross-sections (e.g., changing wood species or steel profiles). Watch the utilization ratio update in real-time to find the most economical solution before detailing starts.

Image

Case 2: Formal Submission (Permit & Audit)

No more "black box" questions from reviewers. Create calculation algorithms that explicitly reference CSA O86, A23.3, and S16 clauses. Every formula is visible and traceable, making your reports easy to check and approve by PEng, senior engineers or city officials.

Case 3: Managing Design Changes

The architect moved the wall? No problem. Since TechEditor documents are parametric, you don't need to rewrite the report. Just update the input load or geometry — the entire analysis, diagrams, and conclusions recalculate and reformat automatically.
