What's Possible?
Features that will accelerate your residential structure's design

Fully Customizable and Integrated Section Properties
Use shapes from a variety of databases, or create your own custom ones from a combination of shapes. Import complex DXF drawings of custom sections for analysis as well. The Section Builder will find all the section's properties using a FEA of the section. Every section can be used for 3D modeling and analysis through the Structural 3D integration.

3rd-Party File Import Support
Get a headstart on your residential wood or cold-formed steel project using the various supported 3rd-party file import types such as:
- Revit (.RVT)
- .DWG
- .DXF
- .CSV
- Excel, Grasshopper and more...
With correctly formatted 3rd-party files, get the majority of modeling done for your project right from the start.

Full Featured Modeling Tools and FEA Analysis
Engineers become proficient in SkyCiv Structural 3D in as little as a few hours, not weeks. The streamlined user interface gives you all the modeling power without congestion. Take advantage of the intuitive tools that make generating any type of residential wood or cold-formed steel structure a breeze.
With SkyCiv’s FEA solver, run your structural model using the following analysis methods:
- Linear Static Analysis
- Buckling Analysis
- P-Delta Analysis
- Dynamic Frequency
- Response Spectrum

Integrated Design Module with Exportable and Detailed Design Reports
When your structural model is complete, import the analytical results into the Member Design module to run the design checks in accordance with the relevant code. E.g., NDS 2018, AISI S100-12, etc.
The design module will present the results clearly and effectively, while offering individual member hand calculations. These reports depict hand-calc walkthroughs with code references, which serve great as deliverables on your project or for backchecking -- eliminate that blackbox!
Intuitive Collaboration
With the online connectivity of the SkyCiv platform, share project files with your engineering team for constant collaboration throughout the project.
With Version History, keep track of changes made to the structural model with annotated comments. If errors are made, revert your model to any previously saved version. Monitor issues associated with projects using 3rd party apps like Microsoft Teams and Slack.


Live Chat Support
Take advantage of the Live Chat feature and share your project with the SkyCiv team directly to get immediate feedback like you haven’t with other structural engineering software.
