SkyCiv Structural 3D VS ClearCalcs

For what it's worth I did find an online structural analysis tool that seems simple enough to use and affordable called SkyCiv that I might try, but from your suggestions and the small amount of research I did since, I think I might feel more comfortable doing the calculations by hand and maybe compare my results to the software simulation as confirmation.

I've found SkyCiv which looks like it has the right level of functionality. However it's all online and if the company ever went under we'd lose the ability to access and run the models. Source: about 2 years ago

I just started looking into using ClearCalcs today after getting fed up with Enercalc's glitches and their recent price hike. https://clearcalcs.com/. Source: over 2 years ago

That being said, I have been using ClearCalcs lately (paid subscription, but is a really good program). They've been building up their catalog of materials and I think will be adding i-joists and other similar manufactured products soon. They already have LVL and LSL type materials, but they're continually updating their catalog. I really only use Forte web for i-joist calculations now. Source: about 3 years ago
