Reliable, Easy-to-Use Design Software
Fully integrated structural member design
SkyCiv’s Member Design module allows for rapid design of steel and timber elements in your analysis models. Results are explained in detailed calculation reports with full working and code referencing – so you can be confident in the compliance of your structure.
Clear Pass or Fail result for every member
- Detailed calculation reports
Full S3D Structural Analysis integration
Automatic section optimization
WHY ENGINEERS SWITCH
Structural analysis software that runs the full workflow
Easy and powerful FEA analysis
Run linear, non-linear, buckling and dynamic analysis within a single solver. No separate modules for complex analysis types.
Integrated design checks
Steel, concrete, timber and cold-formed design modules run directly on your analysis results. No exporting, re-entry or version mismatches.
Detailed calculation reports
Every formula, design check and
reference is shown in full, so you can defend every number, not just the result.
INSIDE MEMBER DESIGN
Hot-Rolled Steel, Cold-Formed Steel & Timber Design Software
Capabilities for designing code-compliant and efficient structures.
Integrated with SkyCiv Beam and S3D
Get quick and accurate design results, directly integrated into SkyCiv’s Structural 3D and Beam analysis software.
Key features include:
Automatic load import: Import load combination forces easily.
Member data integration: Import member lengths, materials, and section information seamlessly.
Advanced restraint controls: Accelerate design with our easy and powerful restraint and effective length controls
Grouped member support: Effectively manage and support grouped members
Section Optimization
SkyCiv Member Design has an advanced optimizer feature which iterates through candidate sections to select the most structurally efficient section for your design.
Specify parameters for section depth, width and database library
Filter candidate sections by name
Adjust the utilization ratio criteria
Tune the settings to balance speed and accuracy
Review all tests and select the section that’s right for you
Works in Beam, S3D, and standalone versions
Timber Member Design
Design timber members to code with comprehensive design checks, load combination handling, detailed reporting, and an integrated library of sections and materials.
Supported Design Codes:
NDS® Standards 2018 (ASD & LRFD)

testimonials
Trusted by thousands
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.
Mitch Frumkin
CEO OF KIPCON
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.
Dr Kenneth R. Leitch
Assoc. Prof. at Texas A&M
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.
Stuart Agars
Managing Director of Struct-Sure Limited
SkyCiv has been a great tool to help efficiently and clearly document and update design results for a member of a small company with multiple responsibilities.
