SkyCiv is a suite of cloud-based structural analysis and design software accessible entirely through a web browser. With SkyCiv, you can calculate things like how much weight a beam can hold, how a building will react to wind, and whether different parts of a structure are strong enough. It’s used by engineers to make sure their designs are safe and meet various building standards.
Single web-based platform. SkyCiv is a structural toolbox that you can use directly in your web browser, with no need to download or install anything. The core software, Structural 3D (S3D), focuses on 3D modeling, while other SkyCiv tools complement or integrate with S3D. These include structural analysis tools for beam analysis, section customization, wind load generation, and mobile access. The structural design tools are available as standalone options or integrated with S3D, enabling the design of steel, concrete, and wood members, connections, foundations, base plates, slabs, and retaining walls.
SkyCiv integration. SkyCiv provides plugins for Revit, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Excel, Grasshopper, SolidWorks, and IDEA StatiCa while supporting DWG, DXF, STAAD, RVT, CSV file formats for data exchange. Add-ons like the Bill of Materials, Detailed Comments, S3D Voice, and QR Codes enhance project management and model sharing. Additionally, the SkyCiv API allows for custom integration into specific workflows.
SkyCiv plans. SkyCiv offers a free account offering limited features. The paid subscriptions include the Basic Plan, suitable for individuals or short-term projects, and the full-featured Professional Plan, ideal for structural engineers managing long-term projects. There is also the Enterprise Plan (5 users) for medium to large companies.
Summary. SkyCiv offers functionality comparable to traditional structural analysis software. It is significantly easier to learn; according to developers, 95% of users master Structural 3D in less than two weeks. SkyCiv is distinct in being 100% cloud-based, offering responsive live chat support, extensive integrations, an API, and a mobile app.
Typical workflow
- Model: Start by creating the structural model in Structural 3D (S3D) with nodes and members, then add supports and apply various loads to the structure.
- Solve: Solve the model using FEA options, utilize built-in tools to fix any errors that arise, and review the results through the graphical interface or generate reports.
- Design: Perform design checks using SkyCiv’s integrated modules for steel, concrete, and wood members to ensure the structure meets relevant design codes and standards.
