A PTC Case Study
DIS-TRAN Steel, LLC, a 45-year provider of utility transmission and substation steel structures, needed faster, more accurate proposals and streamlined metric conversions across departments. To address slow, error-prone calculations and expand engineering tools into the proposal process, DIS-TRAN turned to PTC and its software suite—most notably PTC Mathcad—to standardize and document calculations.
PTC automated metric conversions and enabled proposal staff to adopt PTC Mathcad quickly, replacing ad hoc Excel and handwritten workflows. As a result, analyses that once took 15 hours now take 20 minutes, metric conversion effort on complex projects fell by 80%, bid-creation time dropped 93%, confidence in proposals increased, and multiple departments adopted PTC Mathcad across the company.
