SkyCiv: Structural Engineering

SkyCiv is a comprehensive engineering app that offers a variety of tools for structural and civil engineers. To use the app, you will need a SkyCiv account, which can be either free or paid. With this app, you can access a beam calculator, truss and frame tool, section database, wind/snow load generator, base plate design tools, retaining wall calculator, and a structural unit converter. These tools allow you to perform quick and accurate analysis and design calculations, while also staying connected to your SkyCiv files and models through the powerful SkyCiv 3D Renderer.

The beam calculator is a user-friendly 2D analysis tool that can quickly calculate reactions, bending moment diagrams, shear force diagrams, deflection, and stresses on your beam. It is connected to SkyCiv's commercial finite element method (FEA) software, ensuring accurate results. The calculator also has access to the Section Database, where you can easily search and import various shapes and materials such as wood, concrete, or steel. Additionally, the SkyCiv Beam Calculator allows you to run integrated design checks and optimize your beam model using various design codes, and export a PDF analysis report to share with colleagues or clients.

The SkyCiv Mobile Frame tool allows you to build 3D models from scratch or load and edit pre-existing models from Structural 3D. You can make changes in real-time and perform structural analysis on the go. The app also includes a section database tool, which allows you to quickly check the properties of various shapes and materials from different libraries, including AISC, AISI, NDS, and more.

The wind and snow load calculator is designed to help engineers determine wind design speeds, snow pressures, and topographic factors for specific locations. With an interactive Google Map feature, you can easily find your exact location and get your design loads in seconds. The base plate design tool also includes powerful 3D rendering, allowing you to model anchors, welds, stiffeners, and more. It provides quick design calculations and a clear pass or fail for various design standards.

The app also features a retaining wall calculator, which includes calculations for overturning, sliding, and bearing utilization ratios. You can adjust all components of the retaining system and perform stability checks before completing your design. Additionally, the app includes a model viewer, allowing you to review, share, and run structural analysis on your models directly from your mobile device. Lastly, the engineering unit converter helps you convert common units for length, mass, force, loads, density, pressure, and more.

SkyCiv is designed to be a convenient structural design software for all engineers, whether you are a student or a professional. You can customize your preferred section library, unit system, and auto-launch calculator for quick access to the tools you need.
