What FEA Software does SkyCiv Include?

FEA/FEM software is often expensive, complex and difficult to use - which is not always ideal for structural engineers trying to get a quick yet accurate result. To support structural engineers, SkyCiv has built a range of powerful software, tailored to structural engineers to help them model, design and analyse any sort of structure that comes across your desk.

Our FEA software includes simple single beam analysis, plate analysis, complex shell analysis and 2D section FEA.

What makes SkyCiv Different?

SkyCiv stands out in FEA software by solving real frustrations structural engineers face with traditional tools—things like clunky interfaces, rigid licensing, and disconnected workflows. Here's what really makes SkyCiv different:

Built for Structural Engineers (Not General Analysis)
Many FEA tools are adapted from general-purpose solvers. SkyCiv is purpose-built for structural engineering—from member design to complex 3D frames—making the modeling process more intuitive and the outputs more relevant.

100% Cloud-Based
Access your models from any device, anywhere—no installs, updates, or license servers. Collaborate in real time, share models instantly, and track changes with built-in version control.

Smarter, Faster Modeling
Unique tools like the Pen Tool and Bulk Editing speed up geometry input, while automation via API opens the door to faster, repeatable workflows. Engineers can model, solve, and design in a single interface.

Real Design Codes, Real Engineering
SkyCiv supports major international codes (AS, AISC, Eurocode, etc.) and makes compliance easy with integrated checks and clean reporting. No need to jump between FEA and separate design software.

Support That Actually Supports
24/7 live help from structural engineers - not generic tech support. When you’re under pressure to deliver, quick answers matter.

Transparent, Flexible Pricing
No bloated enterprise packages or 5-year lock-ins. SkyCiv offers monthly and annual subscription-based pricing that scales with your team.
