Wood Structure Design Software
SkyCiv Structural Engineering Software is designed by engineers to model, analyze and design a wide range of structures including wood and timber structures. Powerful structural analysis features - including beams, plates, and cables allow users to model and analyze quickly and easily. SkyCiv is also fully integrated with local design standards including AISC, ACI, ASCE, NDS Eurocode, Australian Standards, and CSA:
- Integrated Load Combinations from ASCE, AS 1170, EN 1990 and NBCC
- Steel Member Design for AISC 360, AS 4100, CSA S-16, BS-5950, EN3, IS-800, plus more...
- Reinforced Concrete Member Design as per ACI-318, AS 3600, EN2
- Integrated Wind Load Design from ASCE 7-10, Eurocode, NBCC, and AS 1170
- Connection Design for AISC 360
- Wood Design as per NDS, AS 1720
- Cold-Formed Steel for AISI and AS4600
What's Possible?
Features that will accelerate your wood structure's design
Fully Customizable and Integrated Section Properties
Whether its a database shape from one of the various country databases or a custom built shape using a variety of preset shapes. The Section Builder will use a full FEA analysis to obtain the section properties of single material or composite sections. Have a section drawn as a DXF? Directly import that shape into Section Builder to analyze. All shapes used in the Section Builder are directly integratable with the SkyCiv analysis modules.
3rd-Party File Import Support
Get a headstart on your structural wooden or timber model using the various supported 3rd-party file types such as:
- Revit (.RVT)
- .DWG
- .DXF
- .CSV
- Excel, Grasshopper and more...
With correctly formatted 3rd-party files, the majority of the modeling of your 3D concrete wooden or timber structure can be completed, including material properties and section properties.
Full Featured Modeling Tools and FEA Analysis
SkyCiv Structural 3D is easy to pick up and use immediately -- don’t waste weeks of your time learning other software. The streamlined user interface gives you all the modeling power, without the headaches of congested toolbars or menus. Take advantage of the various modeling tools that make generating any type of structural wooden or timber model a breeze.
With SkyCiv’s FEA solver, run your structural model using the following analysis methods:
- Linear Static
- 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 it and the analytical results directly into the Member Design module to run full design checks in accordance with the NDS® standards in both the ASD and LRFD variations. Enforcing the same “ease-of-use” methodology, the Member Design module will walk you through any required inputs and display the results clearly and concisely. To further investigate any member, look at the individual member’s design report containing all of the hand calculations and other pertinent information, then export it as a PDF or HTML document. Use these reports as deliverables in your structural calc packages.
Intuitive Collaboration and Support
With the online connectivity of the SkyCiv platform, share project files with your engineering team for constant collaboration throughout the project. 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.
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.
Want Automated Functionality?
Are you a structural engineering business leader looking for automated analysis or design functionality that can drastically help your business? Are you currently a structural engineer that is familiar with JavaScript? Our API customers are reaping the benefits of an underappreciated technology in the structural engineering industry. If this sounds interesting to you, inquire about the use of the SkyCiv API, which supports the majority of functions available through the platform version of the SkyCiv suite.
