Launching your model in S3D via the API
Sam Carigliano
CEO @ SkyCiv#
Intro.One of the most powerful features is being able to launch the software with a ready-made structural analysis model from your solutions. This helps a lot through the development phase, as well as the ongoing design phase.
Being able to review your model to ensure it's built correctly is a critical part of building your solutions and the easiest way to do this is by opening it in the S3D UI.

S3D.file.saveThe v3 API opens up almost all of our functionality for your custom needs. This includes:
- Our FEM solver (linear, static, nonlinear, buckling, plates, frequency, response spectrum)
- Steel member design checks (AISC, AISI, AS 4100, CSA S-16, Eurocode 2, British Standards)
- RC Beam and Column design (ACI 318, EN 2, AS 3600, BS 8110, CSA A23)
- Wood member design (NDS, AS 1720)
- Section Builder (custom shapes, geometric properties, section library)
- Reporting - full calculation reporting (for certain design codes), single member reports, analysis reports
- Wind Loading - pull wind speeds, design pressures from an address: ASCE 7-16, AS 1170, EN 1991, NBCC 2015
As a first release this is just a start. We welcome your feedback and function requests to help us build a structural toolbox that serves your needs!
