In this article we will be taking a look at a variety of different engineers that fall under the umbrella of Civil Engineering, the oldest engineering discipline. Each engineering specialization within Civil Engineering works in some way to design and maintain both the naturally built environment as well as man-made… read more →
A "tall structure" is characteristically a building with a small footprint and roof area but a very long and tall facade. Buildings that meet this criteria are also commonly referred to as "skyscrapers". This type of structure requires special engineering procedures for its design and construction due to its height.… read more →
SkyCiv and its modules are a powerful set of tools from which users can model, analyze, and design. Due to its intuitive and powerful 3D modeling and analytical capabilities, SkyCiv 3D allows for multitudes of variability for structural engineering projects. In the case of John Marhoefer, P.E., Managing Partner of… read more →
SkyCiv Structural 3D Plates Just Got an Upgrade We’re all about improving our software. We’ve made some major improvements to our plate/shell elements, including our solver, UI and meshing capabilities. In case you didn’t know, S3D is using a Mindlin plate element, which takes into account shear deformations. This type… read more →
As a structural engineer, your job is to model, analyze and design structures with the public safety at the forefront. This responsibility does not come without challenges, whether that be internally or externally. These challenges will take away from the quality of the design, so acknowledging them is the first… read more →
Structural Engineering can be an extremely rewarding career and offers a lot of opportunity to grow into more senior roles. But sometimes it can be a bit unclear about the career progression or what you can do to further your career. It's also one thing to know what you should… read more →
When learning new software, engineers usually expect to commit weeks to learning and mastering the software before they truly can become efficient in its use. Sometimes, that is a barrier to trying new software, especially when the test project is quite unique with a tight schedule and budget. In Stuart… read more →
SkyCiv is excited to kick off 2020 on the right foot - announcing that we've partnered with Microsoft Teams to deliver a seamless integration between SkyCiv and Microsoft Teams. We believe structural engineering software should integrate with other platforms. This is an example of our commitment to help our users… read more →
Because of the versatility of the SkyCiv platform and the complexity of some structural models, questions about functionality or integration are bound to come up. Users of other software would normally see end-to-end support take at least a week, often more. One of the major benefits of SkyCiv being cloud-based… read more →
Events, Conferences, and Conventions all have a common intention: to foster and grow a community of peers with like-wise interests and goals. The field of structural and civil engineering benefits greatly from yearly meetups of engineers and peers alike because of a variety of reasons. Thanks to changes in technology… read more →
