SkyCiv

[phamENG]

Does anyone have first hand experience with SkyCiv? Licensing and local vs cloud storage aside, what your thoughts? I'm concerned with the validity of the program and its processes, capabilities, and limitations. I signed up for the 14 day trial and I'm giving it a go, but in the meantime I figured I'd ask what others have found. So far I do see that it's not very transparent - only output I see (except the beam module's "hand calcs") is a summary report with limit information.

Thanks.

I've only used SkyCiv online structural design software for a couple days. It has been very useful though and I am seriously looking to purchase the reasonably priced contract, at least month to month, until I have more experience using it for a variety of design problems. The portal frame feature is my focus at this time and works well for my use case.
