AISC 360-10 & AISC 360-16 Steel Design Software

Structural analysis software that runs the full workflow

SkyCiv Engineering offers steel design and analysis software for AISC 360-10 and AISC 360-16 specifications, allowing you to design, analyse and test your steel structures. It’s also fully integrated with SkyCiv Structural Design and Analysis Software, you can directly load design codes inside of the program, and directly load design codes from the platform.

This AISC 360 steel design software comes with two versions: Standalone (free) and Integrated (built-in with Structural 3D). Available features:

  • W-Shapes, HSS Shapes (RHS, SHS, CHS), Channels and Angles
  • Bending, Shear, Axial Checks – Capacity and Ratios
  • Combined, Slenderness and Deflection Capacity and Ratios
  • Summary + Full AISC 360 Design Calculation Reporting
  • View Capacity Results on Model (Integrated Version)
  • Import and Apply Multiple Load Combinations (Integrated Version)
  • Fully verified with third party result
  • View full documentation for our AISC 360 Design Software
  • Review an example walk-through of how to design a moment connection frame using AISC 360-10

WHY ENGINEERs SWITCH

Structural analysis software that runs the full workflow

Easy and powerful FEA analysis

Run linear, non-linear, buckling and dynamic analysis within a single solver. No separate modules for complex analysis types.

Integrated design checks

Steel, concrete, timber and cold-formed design modules run directly on your analysis results. No exporting, re-entry or version mismatches.

Detailed calculation reports

Every formula, design check and
reference is shown in full, so you can defend every number, not just the result.

What Product title Offers

A full-featured online structural analysis software, including beams, plates and cables

Optimize and Select the Lightest AISC 360 Design

The SkyCiv Design module, also lets you calculate the lightest section that passes the AISC design requirements. With a single click, you can test all the sections of the library to find the most efficient design to reduce material use and save your clients money. Have some design limitations? The Optimizer allows you to filter sections by depth, width and even names, to find the exact section suitable for your needs.

It was easily the most intuitive package available to learn; it is particularly easy to build the 3D model and define nodes, members, supports, materials, sections, then apply loads & combinations.

Managing Director of Struct-Sure Limited

It is used for various civil and mechanical engineering courses and the students love it. We are happy with the continuous updates to SkyCiv as well, highly recommended.
