- custom functions of multiple parameters f(x; y; z; ...);
- powerful numerical methods for root and extremum finding, numerical integration and differentiation;
- finite sum, product and iteration procedures;
- modules, macros and string variables;
- program flow control with conditions and loops;
- "titles" and 'text' comments in quotes;
- support for Html and CSS in comments for rich formatting;
- function plotting, images, tables, parametric SVG drawings, etc.;
- automatic generation of Html forms for data input;

- export to Word documents (*.docx) and PDF;
- variable substitution and smart rounding of numbers;
- output visibility control and content folding;
- support for plain text (*.txt, *.cpd) and binary (*.cpdz) file formats.
This software is developed using the C# programming language and the latest computer technologies. It automatically parses the input, substitutes the variables, calculates the expressions and displays the output. All results are sent to a professional looking Html report for viewing and printing.
This software is suitable for engineers and other professionals that need to perform repetitive calculations and present them in official documentation such as calculation notes. They can automate this task efficiently by creating powerful and reliable Calcpad worksheets. It can also help teachers to prepare calculation examples, papers, manuals, books etc. Students can use it to solve various problems, prepare homeworks, phd theses etc.
The installation is performed by the automated setup program calcpad-setup-en-x64.exe. Follow the instruction of the setup wizard. The software requires a 64 bit computer with Windows 10/11 and Microsoft .NET 8.0.
You can also use Calcpad directly in the browser from our website: https://calcpad.eu/Ide
