Three words are describing this software very well.:
Accurate, Smart & User-Friendly

It is and excellent step towards simplifying the welding situations, specially for dissimilar metals welding.
I tested all the combinations for authenticity and the WeldShop proved to be 100% code compliant. Thumbs Up !!
All the best and hope to see its scope extension for cast irons, stainless steels and Ni alloys in later versions.

Ibrahim,
Thanks for the comments.
We highly regard your suggestions and are already working upon other engineering disciplines also. You know developing engineering softwares is a very serious business and we are the team of Engineers only, no support being taken by any Software Development Company at the moment.
Only for the beta release of 'WeldShop' for selected materials, we worked upon each and every detail, consulted codes & standards, gathered experience of our fellow engineers with the intention that our product shall be error free.
We will be following the same lines for our upcoming softwares also and appreciate that you volunteered.

Keep visiting us for much more to come.
