Reliable, Easy to Use Design Software

SkyCiv Reinforced Concrete Design Software analysis

Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.

Quick structural modelling

Integrated seamlessly with Structural 3D, the Reinforced Concrete Design module supports concrete beam design and column design for a variety of building codes.

This powerful reinforced concrete design software helps engineers quickly run and optimize section calculations across full 3D models. For deeper verification, detailed hand calculations are available to review every step. The integrated General Section Designer also makes it simple to lay out rebar and design custom-shaped sections.

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.

Detailed calculation reports

SkyCiv believes engineers should have access to all the information about their designs. This includes the calculations made by the software and is a key part of how we support effective concrete structure design software workflows. The reports detail:

  • References to relevant chapters and checks (for ACI 318, EN2, CSA A23, BS 8110, and AS 3600).

  • Custom Company logo and model setup information.

  • Detailed calculations of plastic centroid values.

  • Relevant assumptions and failure criteria.

  • Clear pass/fail summary results.

  • Download Sample Reinforce Concrete Calculation Report.

Custom section design

The SkyCiv General Section Designer module allows you to add reinforcement and loads to test your section’s moment and axial capacities. Design your concrete sections easily, using SkyCiv General Section Designer:

  • Add template or custom shapes via Section Builder.

  • Easy reinforcement input and editing capabilities.

  • Load in common materials, or add your own custom materials.

  • Apply multiple loads, testing more than one case in one go.

  • Review moment and axial capacities, stress/strains, stress contours, and utility ratios.

  • Review real-time M-N interaction curves.

Integrated with SkyCiv Structural 3D

With nothing to download or install, you can instantly pull the forces, spans, loads, and load combinations directly from your structural analysis model. Instantly check your model for flexure, shear, axial, and much more.

  • Also fully integrated with SkyCiv Beam.

  • Forces automatically imported from structural models.

  • Supports load combinations from ASCE 7-10, AS 1170, EN1 and NBCC.

  • Spans, cross-sections and materials imported from your model.

  • Class and group members together, to complete one design for multiple members.

Reinforced concrete slab design

SkyCiv also has powerful slab design capabilities for ACI 318, AS3600 and EN2 for concrete slab and plate design. This is available under our slab design module, which includes the following features:

  • Automatically imports materials and analysis results from S3D.

  • Automatically imports cutouts, mesh and plate attributes from S3D.

  • Assign different reinforcement zones.

  • Design and optimize reinforcement.

  • Review moment and axial capacities, stress/strains, stress contours, and utility ratios.

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.

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.
