Parabola Calculator Portable

This is the portable edition of Parabola Calculator, a simple-to-use tool that allows you to find out the shape and size of a parabola by taking into account its diameter and depth. It features intuitive options that can be quickly figured out.

Portability advantages

Since installation is not required, you can put the executable file in any part of the hard disk and just click it to run. Another possibility is to save Parabola to a USB flash disk or similar storage device, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.
An important aspect to keep in mind is that the Windows registry settings are no changed, and no extra files are created on the disk without your approval.

Easy-to-use interface

As far as the GUI is concerned, Parabola opts for a classical window with a straightforward structure, where you can specify the diameter and depth of the parabola, and click a button to immediately get results.

View and export data

These include the parabola diameter, linear diameter, depth, focal length, volume and area. Plus, you can adjust the number of segments. Information can be saved to a plain text document for closer examination. You can also export data to ASCII, ACAD STREAM, ACAD TABULAR Data, CorelDraw, DXF, Excel or HPGL2 files, as well as create a picture and save it to BMP format.
The input values may be saved and imported into Parabola at a later time. What's more, you can check out the coefficients, linear distance of parabola segments, and volume calculation details. The background and foreground colors can be changed into anything else.

Evaluation and conclusion

The app does not put a strain on PC performance, since it runs on low CPU and RAM. It computes and displays data almost instantly, without causing Windows to hang, crash or pop up error messages in the meantime. All in all, Parabola Calculator gets the job done and it supports plenty of file types for exporting information.
