Recensioni su SkyCiv Structural 3D

SkyCiv Structural 3D: unbeatable value for money

Commenti: Satisfactory, it is an important and affordable tool for both students and professionals.

Aspetti positivi:

What I liked the most was that the prices are affordable. It also has an extensive list of tools which allow a complete structural analysis.

Aspetti negativi:

Among the disadvantages that I find and suggest that could be worked on are: the automated generation of designs and the ability to integrate with other design and analysis software.

Excellent 'Beam' analysis to convey part strength as an ME.

Commenti: In 45 minutes I was able to show two different cross-sections under similar loading and support; the sketches were just like the sketches on my napkin. The final images were professional--and deflection results were clear to even the least confident technical person. I'm excited such a great system exists--and disappointed that it is only a larger package I really don't have time to learn--and really have no way to purchase. Big companies aren't great with monthly fees. Kindly note: this feedback represents my personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of Johnson & Johnson in any way.

Aspetti positivi:

Knowing the cross-section of my part, I quickly sketched this as a 2D section; knowing the supports and loads & material, I easily entered these and quicly had flexure/deformation/yield results that ballparked my design. I usually do this with a sketch, looking up things I don't know--but in the small part of this package that I used, I intuitively entered data, showed the effect of height changes, and shared out the path toward solution. FAST & EASY--I didn't need instructions.

Aspetti negativi:

I'm a mechanical engineer--most times I am not creating a structure--but often in automation I'm optimizing strength/weight/form/size; and even more often I'm trying to explain WHY to managers or less technical engineers. This software was ideal--but it does not seem available as just a simple beam tool. When I looked at purchase, I need to buy a subscription to a much larger package--when really I just need the most basic bits.

Best of kind structural engineering app.

Commenti: I found it after trying almost all online and offline apps. SkyCiv was the most intuitive, and affordable solution for my task.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use, as I use it occasionally, then intuitive UI and embedded knowledge help enormously.

Aspetti negativi:

Not sure if there is anything, I have it to find.

It's nothing special

Commenti: I have used both enercalcs and SkyCiv, which have similar capabilities. I prefer Enercalc because it is much more intuitive and easier to set up the simple calcs you want to do.

Aspetti positivi:

It was useful for analyzing a built-up steel section and had good visualization capabilities. Everything is saved in their cloud, which is a nice feature to have.

Aspetti negativi:

The types of structural analysis that are offered are limited. There may be more functions in the future, but for now it is useful only for a small number of projects.

SkyCiv Structural 3D: Simply Impressive – We Like It!

Aspetti positivi:

SkyCiv Structural 3D's intuitive user interface and powerful engineering functionality streamline complex tasks, offering an unparalleled user experience for seasoned engineers.

Aspetti negativi:

Potential usability nuances may arise due to the learning curve but overall a good product!

Excellent software for innovation

Commenti: Our business is on special designs for innovated processes that involved equipments and systems with structures that works in specific environments, so SkyCiv Structural 3D help us on the design with iteration process. We started of using SkyCiv Structural 3D when we developed a 6 m of diameter door for vacuum application with a huge hinge using just SkyCiv Structural 3D, it was the only option for designing on real time when we are welding and fabricating on shop, supporting the improvement process that changes the design every day.

Aspetti positivi:

The easy way of modelling, ideal for experienced and non experienced designers.

Aspetti negativi:

The mesh size when uses plates, I mean the most of the cases is just fine, but sometimes we design with our own plate design, so mesh and number of nodes are critical.

Easy to learn

Commenti: I have designed catwalks, stairways, platforms, and large (100 ft diameter) helipad roof. Their recent design optimizer for section selection is also a great plus!

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to learn. I didn't dig too much into user manuals. Lots of help from skyciv support team.

Aspetti negativi:

SkyCiv team is continually improving the software. Currently, it is well suited to my needs.

Great customer service!!

Commenti: Great! I accidentally purchased the most expensive plan (my mistake, I’m pretty sure) so I emailed in a panic, and they responded within a few hours!! Immediately [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] from SkyCiv refunded me the money and gave me the plan that I actually wanted. Best customer service ever:)

Aspetti positivi:

It’s very user-friendly and helpful for classes.

Aspetti negativi:

I don’t really like that some of the features, like the beam diagram with more than two point loads, are not free.

Good software for modeling

Aspetti positivi:

This tool is useful for modeling of structures and others. You cand do it quickly without many problems.

Aspetti negativi:

Actually, I have not experienced any problem, but the interface can be more easy to use.

Have to be experienced in engineering

Aspetti positivi:

Program is for users who are very much knowledge about engineering. For them it is very easy to make structural frames etc.

Aspetti negativi:

Like any other program, it has its own difficulties like getting the structure in the 3d model.

A Powerful Tool for every Civil Engineer

Aspetti positivi:

User-friendly interface: The interface of SkyCiv Structural 3D is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it accessible for users with limited structural analysis experience.Wide range of analysis types: In addition to traditional static analysis, the software also supports dynamic analysis, which is a valuable tool for certain types of projects.

Aspetti negativi:

Price: Depending on the features and functionality you need, SkyCiv Structural 3D could be on the pricier side compared to some other structural analysis software options.

SkyCiv Doing our Solar Carport Designs Daily!

Commenti: A bit of a learning curve 5 years ago trying to do our designs efficiently and found SkyCiv and it made it all come together! Use it every day

Aspetti positivi:

It works very well and is really easy to use

Aspetti negativi:

I really don't have anything bad to say about the software

skyCiv Structural 3D

Commenti: Linear and Non linear analysis easily carried out through this software. it gives speed result of them and easily access their files and program from web browser anytime.

Aspetti positivi:

Structural analysis software on the cloud. yes, easy to use . it is considering the less time for Structure analysis.

Aspetti negativi:

No, powerful analysis and design the structure through this software. It subjected to easily modelling functionality. it provides good and easy process for understanding and then analyzing.

An excellent full-featured, easy to learn tool

Commenti: It took about 15 minutes to get the hang of it, and only a little longer to feel like I had mastered the functionality I needed. Even though I was only on a trial plan and made it clear that this was a one-off project, and I was not likely to buy a subscription the support was still attentive to my early-user needs.

Aspetti positivi:

It seems to cover almost any design challenge you may need to deal with.

Aspetti negativi:

As a casual user, the monthly price is a bit steep. However, if I had any regular recurring need for this kind of software in a business environment the price would be reasonable. For any non-business / home-owner or occasional user, the price can be daunting.

Love SkyCiv

Commenti: Fast to model, fast to check, pretty easy to comprehend the results, lets you be a structural engineer of some skill within days instead of years.

Aspetti positivi:

I'm a mechanical engineer, not a structural one, but Skyciv let me ease into the game of structural design by providing a tool that lets me check my work very quickly, confirming or denying my designs without the need of a full structural engineering skill set.

Aspetti negativi:

Some parts are hard to grasp, and seem awkward, I have to consider I'm not a structural engineer, and one would expect some level of misunderstanding and complexity would be normal in a new field, and so i feel that Skyciv let me move with alacrity and ease, which i suspect would not have been possible other ways.

The program as well as the customer service is excellent !!

Commenti: Ease of use and excellent results

Aspetti positivi:

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 !

Aspetti negativi:

As with any program of this type it takes some time to really learn the functionality and become aware of everything it does, but, once you get there it is awesome.

Great software for solving structural problems

Commenti: I am using the software to investigate the behavior of a construction given various elements to build it with. It is really easy to learn and you can use the built-in templates or make your own. It also allows the use of plates that can be meshed giving you a glimpse of FEA. The one thing that is outstanding is their service. Extremely helpful and going far beyond what you would expect in this day and age. I actually had one of the developers assist me, even making some drawings for me. I never had that happen with any software support and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to learn, very flexible, great customer service, ability to specify custom materials

Aspetti negativi:

While I have not explored it in detail it seems the DXF import feature needs some work

This Software makes Structural Engineering easy

Commenti: We supply construction material in all the world, with the software we can design different systems since the interface is very versatile, quality of the presentation on reports is great giving us all the tools we need to get projects approved faster and at fair cost.

Aspetti positivi:

This is the most friendly engineering software I ever use, great reports and very intuitive interface, I travel to the world due to my job and I feel proud to present our reports and designs using this software to my peers and clients. I have just had one reason to contact the technical support and my problem was resolved on minutes.

Aspetti negativi:

The interface for mobile devices (Iphone) has to improve, not a handicap in overall since you will normally be designing in a laptop or desktop but I will like this to improve.

Use in Ecuador South American

Commenti: The platform is very agile, even though it is in the cloud. As a senior engineer I really like all the applications to the point that I am thinking of not using Etabs.

Aspetti positivi:

Quick subscription, agile environment, access from anywhere.

Aspetti negativi:

Tutorials in Spanish, I use it in Ecuador. Codes of other regions, in this case Ecuador.

intermediate stage - user review

Commenti: Great - reponsive service and inherent willingess to improve platform and modules based on customer feedback

Aspetti positivi:

Automation and cross module interface

Aspetti negativi:

hand calculation sheet for windloads missing

Awesome!

Commenti: Had a really good experience with SkyCiv. I use the software for simple analysis and did not want to pay thousands of dollars. It helped me make simple checks (mainly deflections and bending stress) without having to hand calculate them. Highly recommend them, they were also very quick to reply to issues/questions as well.

This review concerns only the BEAM module.

Commenti: I used the Beam Module on a special project and it served my needs quite well. I like the way beam and loading information are entered into the program. Solving is pretty quick and the results look quite good. I will be using the software only occasionally because of the nature of my work.

Very Helpful and Useful Engineering Software

Commenti: I found SkyCiv very useful for some of the work I have been undertaking over the last few months. Big advantage was that I didn't have to commit to an expensive licence. Very easy to use and thorough results. Would highly recommend and will continue to use the software in the future.

Great software for analyzing forces in complex linkages

Commenti: The software is really great. It has saved a lot of time that I might have otherwise spent doing hand calculations.
The GUI is very user friendly and computation is also pretty fast.
It's really a must have software if you are designing complex linkages.
