SkyCiv Beam
SkyCiv's Beam Software is focused on giving users a fast and accurate analysis of beam structures. Get a simplified analysis of your beam member, including reactions, shear force, bending moment, deflection and stresses in a matter of seconds. SkyCiv Beam is fully integrated with our steel (ASIC, AS, CSA, EN) and concrete member design check software (ACI, AS and EN) for quick design checks with full reporting.
SkyCiv Engineering Software is completely cloud based - accessed directly through any web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, IE, or Safari. This allows users to access their software and files wherever they need, with no need to install or update the program. This is a cost effective solution with no further costs such as maintenance or updates.
Features
Powerful Structural Analysis And Design
Full Hand Calculations
SkyCiv Beam Software has a feature never seen before in other products - it shows the full working out of its solution. In a clean and organised manner, SkyCiv Beam shows the full working out hand solutions for:
- The reaction forces.
- The shear force diagrams by method of cuts/sections.
- The bending moment diagrams by method of cuts/sections.
Note: The full worked solution for the reaction forces will only be shown for statically determinate and non-hinged beams.
3D Renderer and Color Contour Results
SkyCiv shows an in depth color contoured 3D renderer to ensure the dimensions of your beam look correct.
- Easily locate the critical stress concentrations to ensure the safety of your beam.
- Toggle between bending stress, shear stress, deflection, rotation and other results.
- Deflect beam animations in real-scale and exaggerated scale to review support types
Section Library and Unlimited Sections
SkyCiv Beam Software is fully integrated with SkyCiv Section Builder - our powerful section analysis software:
- Save and Load sections from our library of Australia, European, American and UK standard sections
- Select from 10+ template shapes including I-beam, HSS, Channel etc...
- Your section isn't there? Simply add a custom section.
- Perform operations such as: rotate, mirror and translate.
- Adding a section will also give the results for the moment of inertia, centroid and further section properties.
- Preset materials mean that you can select your material from a drop down list for fast entry!
Beam Stress Solutions
- Absolute maximum transverse shear stress and absolute maximum normal bending stresses in tension and compression will be calculated for you.
- Evaluate the different stresses at specific points along the beam, with colored scaled results to display these in an easy to read format.
- The locations of these stresses on the beam section are also generated.
- The local maximum transverse shear stress and the local maximum normal bending stress (compression and tension) at any location along the beam length can be found by entering a custom location after solving.

“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!”
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.
“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.”
