Reliable, Easy to Use Design Software
SkyCiv Beam
SkyCiv Beam Analysis Software provides users with fast and accurate analysis of beam structures. You get a detailed analysis of your beam member, including reactions, shear force, bending moment, deflection, and stresses in a matter of seconds. SkyCiv Beam is fully integrated with our structural steel, timber, cold-formed steel and reinforced concrete design modules, allowing for quick design checks with full reporting.
Experience it by trying our free Beam Calculator!
Our cloud-based software is accessible through any browser, allowing users to work on their projects from anywhere without the need for installation or manual updates.
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 SkyCiv Beam offers
AISC 360-22 Steel Design
SkyCiv Beam has a feature never seen before in other products that is full-hand calculation working for our analysis results, including:
- Reaction forces
- Shear force diagrams (Method of cuts/ Sections)
- Bending moment diagrams (Method of cuts/ sections)
- Moment Distribution Method for Indeterminate Beams
Detailed Analysis Results
- Automatically generate load combinations for your chosen loading standard.
- Quickly calculate reactions, shear force and bending moment diargrams.
- Access results for absolute maximum transverse shear stress, absolute maximum normal bending stresses, and combined stresses.
- Evaluate the different stresses along the beam, including torsion and axial stress or the locations of stresses on the beam section.
- Compare combined stress results using the graphical results to access results along the beam span.
- Get a taste of our beam stress calculator with our Free Beam Calculator.
3D Output Rendering
SkyCiv Beam also provides a detailed 3D rendered results output:
- Toggle between bending stress, shear stress, deflection, rotation and more!
- Deflect beam animations in real and exaggerated scale.
- Coloured contours and result scaling for easy interpretation.
Comprehensive Section Library
SkyCiv Beam is fully integrated with SkyCiv Section Builder – our powerful section analysis software:
- Save and Load sections from our library of over 15,000 Australia, European, American, and UK standard sections
- Easily create build-up and composite sections.
- Import custom shapes from a DXF files.
- Perform operations such as rotate, mirror, and translate.
- Assign materials from our comprehensive material database or create completely custom materials!
Integrated Design Checks
- Steel Member Design for AISC 360, AS 4100, CSA S-16, BS-5950, EN3, IS-800, NZS3404 and more.
- Reinforced Concrete Member Design as per ACI-318, AS 3600, EN2, BS, CSA and more.
- Cold-formed Steel Design for AISI, Eurocode and AS4600.
- Wood Design as per NDS, CSA, Eurocode and AS 1720.

The ease of use and the presentation of the results are both awesome. I have had ongoing interaction with the support team and everyone is excellent.
Mitch Frumkin
CEO OF KIPCON
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.
Stuart Agars
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.
Dr Kenneth R. Leitch
Assoc. Prof. at Texas A&M
SkyCiv has been a great tool to help efficiently and clearly document and update design results for a member of a small company with multiple responsibilities.
