Hey everyone, and welcome to another episode of Flocode: Engineering Insights 🌊. In today’s podcast, I speak with Tim Rawling, co-founder of the fascinating calculation management platform CalcTree. You can connect with Tim on LinkedIn. Before we dive in, I want to clarify that this is not sponsored content. There's no commercial deal in place here. I stumbled upon the CalcTree platform myself and was genuinely impressed, so I thought it would be a great tool to discuss. CalcTree provides an interesting platform to create and collaborate on your engineering calculations using Excel and Python. It’s still in the Beta stage, but they’ve already got many impressive features and interesting engineering content. I recommend taking a look for yourself; there is a lot to discover. Now, back to the episode. Tim and I had a great conversation diving deep into the world of engineering calculations. Here's what you can expect: * The CalcTree Story: We'll get the inside scoop on what CalcTree is, how it came to life, and how Tim made the bold leap from Arup to pursue this innovative idea full-time. * Tech Talk: We'll explore CalcTree's capabilities – Tim will give us an overview of its architecture and highlight the coolest features, like the bounty program and calculation library. * Behind the Build: What goes into creating something this complex? Tim will share some of the challenges he faced and his approach to overcoming them. * Adoption and Growth: We'll talk about the industry adoption of CalcTree, its user base, and what exciting things are on the roadmap. * Python for Engineers: If you're an engineer interested in Python and computational design, Tim has some fantastic advice! Tim's passion for engineering and innovation is infectious – he's a great guy and I really enjoyed talking with him, and I know you'll enjoy this episode. If you have guest recommendations for me, let me know, and I’ll reach out to them! See you in the next one! James 🌊 This is a public episode.
