Using the Foundation Design Module
The Foundation Design Module can be accessed directly from the SkyCiv main dashboard. When you open the module, a setup window will appear where you can select your preferred design code, version, and unit system.
Existing foundation files can be opened through the File Manager or Project Manager. You can also load a foundation model by uploading a JSON object file.
Once inside the module, you can navigate and edit the foundation inputs using the tabs for Geometry, Soil, Materials, Reinforcement, and Loads.
To run the design checks, simply navigate to the Results tab. The software will run the applicable design checks and display the results along with a detailed design report. Reports can also be saved through the Project Manager for future reference.
With powerful features including FEA-based analysis, foundation design checks, reinforcement detailing, and detailed reporting, the software helps engineers design concrete foundations accurately and efficiently. Explore the Foundation Design module and try it today!
