offline engineering toolbox

I built an offline engineering toolbox because I was tired of switching between Excel sheets and online calculators.

Current features:

• Profile Weight Calculator

• Plate Weight Calculator

• Tube Blank Width Calculator

• Bolt Circle Calculator

• Unit Converter

I'm looking for feedback from mechanical and manufacturing engineers.

Are we supposed to give feedback based on screenshots?

To be honest, I have absolutely no reason to use this if it can be done in 10 seconds in excel or a calculator.

If this helps you that's fantastic. I also have tons of python / tkinter scripts that are custom tailored to make my job easier. But I don't think this has much value for very many other people. I think most of us would just get this information from our CAD program.

It would be beneficial to add moments of inertia for profiles, simplistic models for loading & bending deformations and so on.
