What Makes SkyCiv Different?

SkyCiv is currently used in over 160 countries and supports the vast majority of functionality required by structural engineers. Whether this is flexible 3D modeling and analysis, steel or concrete member design, foundation design, steel connection design, or wind and snow load generation, SkyCiv has the muscle for your projects. With the future in mind, SkyCiv is developed to meet the everyday needs of structural engineers.

  • Cloud Based – nothing to install, works on Mac, automatic updates

  • Easy to use, easy to learn

  • Flexible monthly and annual pricing

  • Mobile App with powerful analysis and design capabilities

  • Mobile App with powerful analysis and design capabilities

  • API Technology that supports design automation

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.

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.
