Reliable, Easy to Use Design Software
3D structural analysis
Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.
Quick structural modelling
Create detailed structural models using flexible tools designed for engineering workflows
- Flexible modeling methods: pen tool, copy & paste, spreadsheet entry, gridlines and intuitive operation functions.
- Multiple structural elements: beams, plates, cable elements, rigid links and non-linear supports within one model.
- Extensive section and material libraries: over 25,000+ database sections and 1,500+ materials from standards and manufacturers across the world.
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.

Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.
Quick structural modelling
Create detailed structural models using flexible tools designed for engineering workflows
- Flexible modeling methods: pen tool, copy & paste, spreadsheet entry, gridlines and intuitive operation functions.
- Multiple structural elements: beams, plates, cable elements, rigid links and non-linear supports within one model.
- Extensive section and material libraries: over 25,000+ database sections and 1,500+ materials from standards and manufacturers across the world.
Load definition & combinations
Apply the full range of structural loads and organise them into code-compliant combinations.
- Multiple load types: point, distributed, area, thermal, self-weight and notional loads.
- Load case management: create, organise and attribute load cases to load groups within a single model.
- Automated load combinations: generate combinations using built-in design schemas or define custom combinations.
Advanced structural analysis
Run the full analysis sequence on a single model without switching solvers.
- Multiple analysis types: linear static, non-linear (P-Delta), buckling, dynamic and response spectrum analysis.
- Plate finite element modelling: mesh plates with support for cut-outs, connected members and rigid diaphragms.
- Cable and tension element analysis: model cable behaviour with accurate non-linear response.
Results & structural behaviour
Interrogate results directly within your 3D model, export results to a spreadsheet or generate detailed reports. Results include force diagrams, stress contours, displacements and reactions.
- Internal force diagrams: axial force, shear force, bending moment and torsion moment diagrams.
- Deflection and displacement results: relative and absolute deflections at nodes and inside members.
- Support reactions and stresses: inspect internal stresses throughout members or plates. Review support reaction forces and moments.

Average response time
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.
