Capabilities for modelling and analysing simple to complex structures.

SkyCiv API Capabilities Overview

  • Generate and solve structural analysis models.

  • Linear, non-linear, plates, buckling, cable analysis and much more..

  • Generate wind and seismic loads automatically based on regional codes.

  • Run automated design checks

  • Generate automated CAD drawings.

  • Export detailed and automated engineering drawings using CloudCAD

  • Import structures from Revit, Grasshopper, DXF, IFC and more.

Build faster, with our public AI Skillset

We’ve released a public set of AI Skills which train your AI agents and LLMs on exactly how to run our structural design calculations. Use AI to build, but accurate, deterministic software to calculate.

Train your LLMs instantly on:

  • Structural Analysis API: build analysis models, run FEA, and interpret results

  • Structural Design API: connect to 100+ validated steel, timber, concrete and other design calculators

  • Load Generator API: calculate accurate wind and snow pressures

  • CloudCAD API: generate CAD files automatically.

  • Renderer: use a built in renderer to display your models in real-time

  • Section Selector: train your LLM on how to select and lookup an appropriate section from our database of over 25,000 sections

Real life projects with SkyCiv Automated Solutions

From bottleneck to design automation

Challenge

The solar industry moves fast, requiring quick design and turnarounds. To scale efficiently, MT Solar contacted SkyCiv to automate structural designs of their ground-mount structures to reduce costs and scale up their projects.

Solution

SkyCiv built a custom tool for MT Solar using APIs for (1) wind loading using ASCE 7-22 (2) FEA (3) hot-rolled AISC 360 steel designs and (4) IBC Foundation Designs, allowing them to input project details and quickly run calculations. The tool provides a simple UI to run client designs and also generates full design reports and completed drawings for manufacturing.

Result

MT Solar have been using their automated solution for over 5 years, saving hundreds of thousands in engineering fees and gaining many years in improved productivity and design speed.
