SkyCiv Beam
SkyCiv Beam Analysis Software focuses on providing users with fast and accurate analysis of beam structures. You can get a simplified analysis of your beam member, including reactions, shear force, bending moment, deflection, and stresses in a matter of seconds. SkyCiv Beam is fully integrated with our steel (ASIC, AS, CSA, EN, IN, NZ), concrete member design check software (ACI, AS, CSA, BS, and EN) and even Timber (NDS, AS) for quick design checks with full reporting. Experience it by trying our free Beam Calculator version!
Our cloud-based software is accessible through all browsers, allowing users to work on their projects from anywhere, without the need for installation. It's a cost-effective solution, saving users from additional expenses of maintenance or updates.
Discover key features of SkyCiv Beam
Full hand calculations
SkyCiv Beam Software has a feature never seen before in other products - it shows the full working out of its solution. In a clean and organised manner, SkyCiv Beam shows the full working out hand solutions for:
- The reaction forces.
- The shear force diagrams by method of cuts/sections.
- The bending moment diagrams by method of cuts/sections.
- Moment Distribution Method for Indeterminate Beams
3D renderer and color contour results
SkyCiv Beam Analysis Software shows an in-depth color contoured 3D renderer to ensure the dimensions of your beam look correct.
- Review actual dimensions of sections and member length to confirm correct input and dimensions
- Colored contours and result scale for easy interpretation
- Easily locate the critical stress concentrations to ensure the safety of your beam.
- Toggle between bending stress, shear stress, deflection, rotation, and other results.
- Deflect beam animations in real-scale and exaggerated scale to review support types
Section library and unlimited sections
SkyCiv Beam Software is fully integrated with SkyCiv Section Builder - our powerful section analysis software:
- Save and Load sections from our library of Australia, European, American, and UK standard sections
- Select from 10+ template shapes including I-beam, HSS, Channel, etc...
- Your section isn't there? Simply add a custom section.
- Perform operations such as rotate, mirror, and translate.
- Adding a section will also give the results for the moment of inertia, centroid, and further section properties.
- Preset materials mean that you can select your material from a drop-down list for fast entry!
Beam stress solutions
- Access results for absolute maximum transverse shear stress, absolute maximum normal bending stresses, and combined stresses.
- Evaluate the different stresses along the beam, including torsion and axial stress or the locations of stresses on the beam section.
- Compare combined stress results using the graphical results to access results along the beam span.
- Get a taste of our beam stress calculator with our Free Beam Calculator.

"The ease of use and the presentation of the results are both awesome.
I have had ongoing interaction with the support team and
everyone is excellent!"
It is used for various civil and mechanical engineering courses and the students
love it. We are happy with the continuous updates to SkyCiv as well,
highly recommended.
"It was easily the most intuitive package available to learn; it is particularly easy to build the 3D model and define nodes, members, supports, materials, sections, then apply loads & combinations."
