Reliable, Easy to Use Design Software
Cloud-based Structural Analysis and Design Software
SkyCiv Structural 3D (S3D) is our most powerful online structural analysis software, offering a full suite of modelling, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and integrated design capabilities.
Structural 3D has an intuitive user interface which allows for rapid creation of complex structural models. This 3D frame analysis software allows you to model, analyze, and design steel, timber, concrete, aluminum and other structures.
The 100% cloud-based engineering software allows users to access their programs and files from a web browser, anywhere, anytime!
No installation is required and updates are automatic, meaning everyone is working on the latest version of the software.
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.

testimonials
Trusted by thousands
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 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
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
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.
