Structural analysis software allows you to see how it will perform

Suppose, as a structural engineer, that you have designed a levee to keep back floodwater from a major metropolitan area. How do you know that this structure will be capable of withstanding all of that water pressure? Obviously, you need to use structural analysis software — simply because you can’t build a huge, expensive structure such as this simply for the purpose of testing — no municipality has that kind of funds! No, you need this software to test the integrity of the structure BEFORE it is built — to make sure that it is safe and that it will not collapse.
