analysis
Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.
Quick structural modelling
SkyCiv Base Plate Design is a fast and user-friendly tool that simplifies steel column-to-base plate connections, including anchorage to concrete support.
With real-time visual feedback, you can adjust weld sizes, optimize anchor positioning, and fine-tune base plate and concrete support dimensions effortlessly. Model designs, run analysis, and generate professional reports in just a few clicks, all in one easy-to-use platform.
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.

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.
