The SkyCiv AI Assistant is built into SkyCiv Structural 3D and CloudCAD. Describe what you want in plain language and it works on your model for you. It can build models from scratch, modify your existing models, query your analysis results, diagnose and help repair issues, solve your model, and answer questions about using SkyCiv. Neste artigo, we will cover the abilities and key features of the AI Assistant on SkyCiv Structural 3D.
Opening the AI Assistant
- Open a model in Structural 3D, or start a new one.
- Click the bluish icon in the bottom right corner to open the AI Assistant panel (Veja abaixo)
- Your credits will show at the above of the panel
- Type your request and press Enter to run your prompt
Allocated Tokens

What you can ask
| Intent | What it does | Solicitação de exemplo |
|---|---|---|
| Construir | Builds a structural model from scratch | “Build a 2-storey steel portal frame, 12 m span, 6 m bays” |
| Modificar | Changes or adds to your existing model | “Change all internal columns to W12x26” |
| Query results | Answers questions about your analysis results, can export or generate them in a format of your choice | “What is the maximum deflection, and in which member? Export all the member results in CSV format” |
| Diagnose | Finds potential issues and helps repair them. Can also run a re-solve to ensure issue is fixed | “Why won’t my model solve?” |
| Resolver | Runs the analysis and opens the results; investigates a failed solve | “Can you run an analysis and locate the worst reaction in my outer columns?” |
| Software Support | Answers how-to questions from the SkyCiv documentation, provides guidance on how to use the software | “How do I export to DXF?” |
The intent of your prompt will automatically be detected and the appropriate agent will be run to complete your task.
Agent Response Types
Suggested Fix:
If the agent detects an issue in the model, it may prompt you to confirm the repair:
Action Complete
If the action is complete the agent will tell you what it has done. It will also provide you with two options:
- Desfazer: will undo the changes made by the agent
- Keep: keep the changes made to your model by the agent
Clarification
If there are additional questions, the agent will prompt to ask you to clarify. Please provide more context in these cases to ensure the agent can work effectively and accurately.

Pontas
- Press the Up arrow in the prompt box to show your last prompt.
- Click node and element IDs in a response to highlight and locate them in the model.
- If the model won’t solve, ask the AI Assistant to diagnose it, or ask it to solve; it looks into what went wrong.
- Provide it with more context and instruction for optimum results
Limitações
- Always check AI-generated models, changes and answers; the engineer remains responsible for the design.
- Model size and supported elements, analysis types for Solve, usage limits per plan, undo with Ctrl + Z, use in design modules, supported languages.
