ARCHON ENGINEERING  www.archoneng.com

Many suites of programmes for mechanical and civil engineers available to download as demo versions includes an excellent programmes for solving beam, torsion and frame problems. Lots of stuff on American steel sections but not for European standards. Also contains steam tables and much more. Well worth a visit. The software is easy to use.

Bishop Wisecarver http://www.bwc.com

BWC specializes in linear motion bearings, linear slides, rotary tables, systems and components

EFUNDA www.efunda.com

A great  web site with lots of information and tools on most mechanical topics. Requires a registration fee.

ENGINEERING TOOL BOX www.engineerstoolbox.com

A free and useful web site with calculator tools for most engineering design problems.

MATHCAD  http://www.mathcad.com/library

 A library of useful free mathcad files for engineers includes beam stress and deflection, combustion and so on. Mathcad is a very useful tool for solving engineering problems when you want to change the parameters and see what happens.

A wealth of mathematical help is available here

Motion-controller.machinedesign.com http://www.motion-controller.machinedesign.com/

A new professionally designed site, which offers valuable information on motion controllers, programmable logic controllers and other types of controllers.  The site is considered to be a valued resource for design engineers.
 

ROYMECH  www.roymech.co.uk

Contains lots of useful information, design data and tutorial material for mechanical engineers.

TPUB

www.tpub.com

Contains free tutorials on electrical engineering.

PNEUSIM http://www.pneusimpro.com/download/download.htm

also marketed as AUTOMATION STUDIO in the UK http://www.parker.com/training/autstud/purchase/purcha.htm

This is a very powerful design suite for pneumatics, hydraulics and electronic/electrical circuit design. It enables you to design circuits and produce drawings to the correct standards. It also allows you to simulate the design to see if it works. Contains picture libraries and explanations of the hardware. It can be interfaced to real hardware. Allows control circuit to be designed in American and European ladder logic symbols. It also allows control circuit design using Grafcet. Also has electronic logic circuit design. I have used this software widely and fully recommend it to fluid power control system designers.

FREE SOFTWARE SITES -  NOT MUCH KNOWN ABOUT THEM.

I don't know a lot about this site but the software called Winbeam is free and I have found this very useful in solving beam problems.

http://www.freebyte.com/cad/   for CAD users

http://www.connel.com/freeware/ for fluid flow and thermodynamics.
