How are mechanical engineers using SkyCiv?
Mechanical Engineers often rely on CAD and Simulation to analyze structures; however, when conducting design and structural analysis, SkyCiv Structural Analysis Software is a solid solution in ensuring structural integrity, helping you perform design, stress, vibration and fatigue analysis of structures in a quick and affordable way. Our advanced and easy-to-master modelling features allow you to analyze a frame or member-based structure in a matter of minutes, not hours!
Built by engineers. Trusted globally
The Work of Mechanical Engineers
Mechanical engineering is a broad engineering discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineers have a solid understanding of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, electricity and structural analysis, and their work generally involves the design, production, and operation of machinery.

Features that help Mechanical Engineers design faster
Fast and Reliable Analysis
Did you know it’s 10x faster to model and analyse a frame in SkyCiv than CAD/FEA? In this article, we explore the difference in modelling time and accuracy in performing a structural analysis in CAD vs our frame analysis software.
Simpler models, faster results with SkyCiv Structural 3/industry/naval-architect-comparison-analysis/D.
Single Member Report
Export single member analysis reports in an easy and professional format to pass on to your client or fellow engineer. Include your own screenshots and focus on your key members. Full structure results as well as isolating members for full analysis.
Import from SolidWorks and other CAD Programs
Import from SolidWorks and other CAD Programs
SkyCiv is streamlining design processes – starting with integrating with other programs. Models can now be imported using the SolidWorks plugin, which imports your members, sections, loads and other information saving you hours of unnecessary remodelling.
We also support importing DXF, which is a common file format used by a lot of CAD programs. This imports your model geometry, ensuring a seamless transfer of information.
Custom Section Builder
Define custom shapes, assign custom materials to your shapes and perform complex section calculations in a matter of seconds with SkyCiv’s Section Builder.
The SkyCiv Section Builder is capable of modelling using points, lines, or even import DXF files from CAD – all while using FEM to calculate accurate and reliable geometric properties.
Quick Shaft Design
Quick Shaft Design
Design and analyse complex shafts in a matter of seconds. Easily apply and analyse critical stress concentrations to ensure the safety of your shaft. Results presented in a clean report-like format with reactions at bearings, BMD, SFD, Stresses and Deflection calculations.

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.
