McKinsey and Company have released a report on Australia’s Infrastructure Innovation Imperative, highlighting the upcoming challenges that Construction and Infrastructure related companies are likely to face while meeting the growing infrastructure demand. The report highlights Australia’s challenges in depth, but could also serve value to other economies that are experiencing a similar pace… read more →
SkyCiv and its modules are a powerful set of tools from which users can model, analyze, and design. Due to its intuitive and powerful 3D modeling and analytical capabilities, SkyCiv 3D allows for multitudes of variability for structural engineering projects. In the case of Mitch Frumkin, President of Kipcon Engineering,… read more →
Eiffel Tower Location: Paris, France Engineer: Gustave Eiffel Why it's interesting: The Eiffel Tower is probably the most famous truss structure in the World. Constructed between 1887 and 1889, consists of a 324 m high pylon ending up on 4 oblique pylon close to the ground surface. The lateral stiffness… read more →
150 North Riverside Location: Chicago, IL Engineer: Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA) Why it's interesting: Located in the riverside of Chicago the 150 North Riverside Building was constructed using a pencil-type concept to respond to constraints related to limited footprint area that was available. The lateral force resisting system consisted of… read more →
Team SkyCiv hopped on a plane to visit our neighbours in Adelaide recently for the Australasian Structural Engineering Conference (ASEC). ASEC 2018 brought together structural engineers from near and far for a conference that focused on the theme of “Engineering our Future”. For SkyCiv, it was a chance to talk… read more →
When talking about engineering software, PC has been dominant for many years as most software only run on Windows system. But what about Mac users? There has been a rising obsession with Apple products, and the trend seems to be continuing. In the workforce, despite PC’s incumbent dominance, more and… read more →
We have a number of Mechanical/Naval Engineers using Structural 3D. A lot of the benefit is using it as a complimentary to traditional CAD/FEA to run simple frame analysis, that help shape the initial design. We decided to run a test to analyse the performance of Structural 3D vs traditional… read more →
