Loads & reactions
Vectorian
Define load cases and supports in Autodesk Inventor. Calculate reactions, transfer them between cases, compare results and create PDF or Word calculation reports.
The CADBuds family
From load cases and connections to accurate parts lists. Five focused tools, built around everyday engineering.
Meet your CAD buds
From engineering calculations to the details in your parts list. Meet the five modules taking shape at CADbuds.

Loads & reactions
Define load cases and supports in Autodesk Inventor. Calculate reactions, transfer them between cases, compare results and create PDF or Word calculation reports.

Lifting engineering
Plan lifting calculations for offshore containers, portable offshore units and lifting equipment. Bring the lifting arrangement, load assumptions and calculation documentation together.

Bolted joints
Assess preloaded bolted joints using VDI 2230-1. Explore bolt loads, remaining clamp force and thread engagement, with interactive joint diagrams and a calculation report.

Pinned connections
A dedicated module for calculating pins and typical pinned connections. Bring the geometry and loading of a pin joint into one focused engineering workflow.

Automatic part descriptions
Automatically measure parts and update their size descriptions for parts lists and cut lists. Keep plate thickness and dimensions, bar diameter and length, and tube sizes in step with the model.
Public releases are coming soon. Release dates, supported workflows and purchasing details will be announced on each product page.
