ABOUT US

The AMECO-17 system was developed by a team of three Structural Engineers and one Computer Science Professor. Over the past 40 years, the same team has been responsible for virtually all programming updates and improvements.

Developed over 40 years ago while conducting research as part of their PhD theses at McGill University, the authors pioneered the innovative basis for AMECO-17 that has been in use by structural engineers on projects worldwide ever since. Today, AMECO-17 continues to stay ahead of the times by offering unparalleled speed and efficiency to structural design projects.   

The relatively small team of just four developers enabled very tight and efficient control on the planning, programming and evaluation to be possible throughout, and to this day results in an exceptionally high quality and reliable software product for you.

Since its introduction in 1964, AMECO-17 has kept up with the times. For the first 22 years of its existence, AMECO-17 resided on IBM and CDC mainframes, mostly at Multiple Access Computer Group. Some 200 engineering firms used Ameco-17 on the Multiple Access network in Canada and the USA. Since 1986, AMECO-17 has migrated to super-minis, workstations and finally to personal computers.
