AI Image Generator – Now in Structural 3D!

One of our Hackathon-winning solutions is now live!

Deze nieuwe functie brengt uw ontwerpen tot leven, zodat u kunt visualiseren hoe uw structurele modellen eruit kunnen zien als u er eenmaal is gebouwd uit.

How to use the AI Image Generator:

1️⃣ Open een S3D -model in de 3D Renderer
2️⃣ Navigeer naar de uitvoer → AI -afbeeldingsgenerator in het bovenste menu
3️⃣ Genereer en verken de AI-aangedreven visualisatie van uw model!

We willen graag zien wat je maakt.

SkyCiv Connection Design – New Update

We’ve made a key update to the wide flange beam-to-column moment connection using flange plates in SkyCiv-verbindingsontwerp. This improvement adds column stiffeners, which significantly improve the column’s capacity to resist axial and moment loads transferred from the beam while ensuring compliance with AISC standards.

Belangrijkste voordelen:

  • Improved load distribution: Stiffeners help distribute the forces more effectively, reducing localized stresses and increasing the overall strength and stability of the connection.
  • Enhanced structural integrity: This update ensures better performance in high-load applications and minimizes potential deformations or failures at the connection points.

SkyCiv Quick Design – ACI 318-19 Concrete Column

The latest addition to the SkyCiv snel ontwerp module, de ACI 318-19 Betonkolomcalculator, enables users to design reinforced concrete rectangular and circular columns for tension, compressie, axial load, buigen, en scheer. It also verifies reinforcement spacing, ratio requirements, and concrete cover compliance per ACI 318-19, Hoofdstuk 10.
