SkyCiv CloudCAD Software analysis

Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.

An end-to-end structural engineering workflow.

SkyCiv CloudCAD removes the disconnect between traditional CAD and Structural Analysis software.

On its own, CloudCAD is a powerful 2D drawing software. Purpose-built for structural engineering workflows, CloudCAD can convert 2D drawings into 3D structural models with a single click. When your design is complete, CloudCAD can automatically generate 2D floorplans and elevations of your structure.

  • Import and Export DXF, DWG, PDF, SVG & PNG

  • Mark-up structural geometry and export to S3D Structural Analysis

  • Convert Structural 3D models to 2D floorplans & elevations

  • Purpose-built for Engineers, Architects and Drafters

  • Fully functional CAD software for Mac and Windows

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 CloudCAD Software Offers

Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.

Convert 2D Plans into 3D Analysis Models

SkyCiv CloudCAD allows for seamless conversion of architectural and structural drawings into 3D analysis models. Simply import DXF, DWG or PDF drawings, mark-up your structural geometry, then generate a SkyCiv Structural 3D model.

Architect updated the structural set-out again? SkyCiv S3D files can be linked to CAD files via live-sync, meaning geometry changes are captured without needing to rebuild your model from scratch.

Powerful Drawing Software

SkyCiv CloudCAD has a modern, intuitive set of drawing tools to allow for rapid creation of structural drawings and details.

  • A comprehensive suite of drawing commands and operations

  • Support for layers, blocks & attribute styles.

  • Command-line & search functionality.

  • Customizable keyboard shortcuts.

  • Detailed tutorials and software documentation.

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.

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.
