O software realiza cálculo paramétrico para estimar custos do projeto baseado nas variáveis de escopo, cronograma e recursos.
Parametric calculation is a fundamental concept in modern engineering, architecture, and software development in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, it's increasingly important in the growing tech and engineering sectors, particularly in CAD/CAM industries and construction technology startups. The term is technical and standardized across Portuguese-speaking regions, reflecting the globalized nature of engineering and computational sciences.
