Fast and Reliable Analysis

Did you know it's 10x faster to model and analyse a frame in SkyCiv than CAD/FEA? In this article, we explore the difference in modelling time and accuracy in performing a structural analysis in CAD vs our frame analysis software.

Simpler models, faster results with SkyCiv Structural 3D.

Single Member Report

Export single member analysis reports in an easy and professional format to pass on to your client or fellow engineer. Include your own screenshots and focus on your key members. Full structure results as well as isolating members for full analysis.

Import from SolidWorks and other CAD Programs

SkyCiv is streamlining design processes - starting with integrating with other programs. Models can now be imported using the SolidWorks plugin, which imports your members, sections, loads and other information saving you hours of unnecessary remodelling.

We also support importing DXF, which is a common file format used by a lot of CAD programs. This imports your model geometry, ensuring a seamless transfer of information.

Custom Section Builder

Define custom shapes, assign custom materials to your shapes and perform complex section calculations in a matter of seconds with SkyCiv's Section Builder.

The SkyCiv Section Builder is capable of modelling using points, lines, or even import DXF files from CAD - all while using FEM to calculate accurate and reliable geometric properties.

Quick Shaft Design

Design and analyse complex shafts in a matter of seconds. Easily apply and analyse critical stress concentrations to ensure the safety of your shaft. Results presented in a clean report-like format with reactions at bearings, BMD, SFD, Stresses and Deflection calculations.
