SkyCiv Structural 3D is easy to pick up and use immediately -- don’t waste weeks of your time learning other software. The streamlined user interface gives you all the modeling power, without the headaches of congested toolbars or menus. Take advantage of the various modeling tools that make generating any type of structural steel model a breeze.

With SkyCiv’s FEA solver, run your structural model using the following analysis methods:

• Linear Static
• Buckling Analysis
• P-Delta Analysis
• Dynamic Frequency
• Response Spectrum

When your structural model is complete, import it and the analytical results directly into the Member Design module to run full design checks in accordance with a variety of design codes including:

• AISC 360-16 LRFD/ASD
• Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1:2005)
• BS 5950-1:2000
• CSA S16-14
• IS 800-2007 LSM

Enforcing the same “ease-of-use” methodology, the Member Design module will walk you through any required inputs and display the results clearly and concisely. To further investigate any member, look at the individual member’s design report containing all of the hand calculations and other pertinent information, then export it as a PDF or HTML document. Use these reports as deliverables in your structural calc packages.

Just like the Member Design Module, SkyCiv’s Connection Design module is directly integrated with the analysis modules offered in the suite. Using the results found directly from your 3D model’s analysis, SkyCiv Connection Design will enforce the design requirements of a variety of steel connections in accordance with the following design codes:

• AISC 360-10 LRFD/ASD
• EN 1993-1-8

View the extensive hand calculations of the design to verify your inputs and abolish the blackbox. Each calculation references the pertaining code item, making it easy to backcheck your results. With the design completed, export the connection as a DWG file, expediting or completely removing the drafting process required. Easily add the connection detail to your project documents.
