At Fresh AI Tools, we are thrilled to present Stride, a tool designed by engineers, for engineers. Founded by Weike, a former structural engineer, Stride aims to revolutionize the way calculations are handled in the engineering world by applying concepts from software development, such as version control, commit histories, and dynamic tooling, to create an intuitive platform for engineering calculations.
What is Stride?
Stride is a new platform designed to make engineering calculations more dynamic, clear, and easy to manage. If you’ve been using tools like Excel and Mathcad for calculations, you’ve likely encountered their limitations—clunky interfaces, difficulty communicating the logic behind the calculations, and challenges integrating with other tools. Stride aims to solve these pain points by bringing modern software tooling into traditional engineering workflows.
Key Features of Stride
- 📊 Dynamic Calculations:
- With Stride, engineers can create and manage dynamic calculations in a clear and easy-to-follow format. This simplifies the workflow and allows for better communication of calculation intent.
- 📏 Robust Units Handling:
- One of the standout features of Stride is its robust units handling system. Engineering calculations often involve complex unit conversions and comparisons, and Stride makes sure that every calculation is done with the correct units, eliminating the chances of errors due to incorrect conversions.
- 🔄 Version Control for Calculations:
- Stride brings a major upgrade to how engineers manage their calculations by introducing version control. This means you can now track changes, revert to previous versions, and maintain a commit history—all concepts borrowed from software engineering, but now applied to calculations.
- ✅ Small Reviews and Extensions (Coming Soon):
- While Stride V1 is primarily focused on calculations and units, future updates will include small reviews to ensure collaborative work, as well as an extension platform that will allow engineers to build upon and customize Stride to suit their specific workflows.
Why Stride is a Game-Changer for Engineers
For engineers who are tired of the limitations of Excel and Mathcad, Stride offers a clean, intuitive, and powerful alternative. By borrowing concepts from the software development world, Stride provides engineers with better tools to manage and document their calculations. With version control and a future extensions platform, it ensures transparency and ease of use in complex engineering projects.
Who Should Use Stride?
Stride is ideal for:
- Structural engineers looking for a more efficient way to handle calculations with better documentation and control.
- Civil engineers and other professionals who regularly create complex calculations need a reliable platform with robust unit handling.
- Engineering teams that require collaboration and version control over their calculations, ensuring accuracy and traceability.
Final Thoughts: A Revolutionary Step Forward for Engineering Tools
At Fresh AI Tools, we see Stride as a huge step forward for engineering professionals. With its dynamic calculations, version control, and robust unit handling, it streamlines a workflow that has long been bogged down by clunky, outdated tools like Excel. Stride not only improves productivity but also ensures greater accuracy and clarity in engineering calculations.
If you’re an engineer looking to bring modern software tooling into your workflow, give Stride a try. It’s designed to take the stress out of calculations and bring transparency and efficiency to your projects. We’re excited to see how Stride evolves with future updates!
