Software for Steel Structure Analysis and Design

CFS and HR Integrated Design Modules

When your structural model is complete, import it and the analytical results directly into the Member Design module to run full design checks in accordance with a variety of design codes including:

Hot Rolled: AISC 360-16 LRFD/ASD, Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005), BS 5950-1:2000, CSA S16-14, IS 800-2007 LSM.

Cold Formed: AISI S200, ASNZ 4600

Full Featured Modeling Tools and FEA Analysis

Take advantage of the various modeling tools that make generating any type of structural steel model a breeze. With SkyCiv’s FEA solver, run your structural model using the following

Analysis methods: Beam, Cable, Plates, Linear Static, Buckling Analysis, P-Delta Analysis, Dynamic Frequency, and Response Spectrum.

Library of Sections + Custom Shapes

Whether its a database shape from one of the various country databases or a custom built shape using a variety of preset shapes. The Section Builder will use a full FEA analysis to obtain the section properties of single material or composite sections. Have a section drawn as a DXF? Directly import that shape into the SkyCiv Section Builder to analyze. All shapes used in the Section Builder are directly integratable with the SkyCiv analysis modules.

Design Steel Connections and Base Plates

Directly integrated with SkyCiv's structural analysis software S3D, SkyCiv Connection Design will enforce the design requirements of a variety of steel connections in accordance with the following design codes: AISC 360-10 LRFD/AS, EN 1993-1-8. SkyCiv's Steel Base Plate Design software also supports AISC, AS4100, Eurocode, Canadian and PH codes.

View the extensive hand calculations of the design to verify your inputs and abolish the blackbox. Each calculation references the pertaining code item, making it easy to back-check your results.

3rd-Party File Import Support

Get a headstart on your structural steel model using the various supported 3rd-party file types such as Revit (.RVT), .DWG, .DXF, .CSV, and Others in development!

With correctly formatted 3rd-party files, the majority of the modeling of your 3D steel structure can be completed, including material properties and section properties.

Detailed Design Reports

To further investigate any member, look at the individual member’s design report containing all of the hand calculations and other pertinent information, then export it as a PDF or HTML document. Use these reports as deliverables in your structural calc packages.
