Try WeldOffice software by C-spec. Web site www.cspec.com or www.weldoffice.com. Telephone 1-888-673-9777. I have been an end user for several years and I am very pleased with the performance and customer support.
Can anybody expand the subject with pricing?
Weldspec welding software by C-spec and for WPS and PQR development cost:$2,395 for three user network license. Call 1-888-673-9777 or www.weldoffice.com.
What codes are you working to? Weldspec (see http://cspec.com ) automatically checks ASME IX, AWS D1.1 and EN287/288 codes. It handles any other code without the automatic checks. Hope this helps.
Bow_N_ArrowDude,
What is your objective for the software? Are you already well versed in development of welding procedures and looking for a means to create and store WPS's electronically? Or are you in need of software that will guide you through preparation of a WPS and help you be sure all the code requirements are addressed? If you don't have much or any experience developing welding procedures, and are hoping the software will create a piece of paper you can show customers, then software may not be the answer. But there are several software packages on the market that have various capabilities depending on your objective. Please tell us what your objectives are.
Thanks,
Marty
