Application of Computer Software in Civil Engineering Technology

Abstract The development of computer technology promotes the reform of engineering industry. People gradually realize the convenience of computer technology. Civil engineering is the main specialty of construction engineering. Civil engineering includes many kinds of engineering. With the emergence of computer software development technology, many problems in civil engineering have been solved. Experts have developed a lot of computer software [1]. These softwares are widely used in civil engineering technology. This paper mainly lists the application of four kinds of computer software in civil engineering. In this paper, the main application skills of computer aided design, finite element software, GIS software and virtual reality software are mentioned.
