Best Free Civil Engineering Software

SkyCiv Structural 3D is a cloud-based Structural Analysis software that allows users to model, analyze and design complex 3D structures. It is completely online; requiring no installation to use. SkyCiv Structural 3D offers the very best in online structural analysis. It includes the following: - Powerful Analysis: Linear, P-Delta, Cables, Buckling, Plates, Frequency, RS - Integrated Design checks for steel, wood, connections, foundations, wind (AISC, NSD, AISI, EN, AS, CSA, BS plus more...)

HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling provides easy TR-20, TR-55, SBUH, and Rational hydrology, plus TC calculations, pond storage, outlet hydraulics, pump routing, underground storage, pollutant loading, and more. Special features include direct CAD import, dam breach routing, skimmers, tubes, siphons, local rainfall data import, and a constantly expanding chamber library. Interactive graphical environment is fast and intuitive, producing better results in less time on every project.

MasterSeries PowerPad is a complete structural analysis and design suite. It is the ideal software choice for engineers who require a wide range of design capabilities at an extremely affordable price. By bundling lite versions of the core analysis and design programs, MasterSeries PowerPad delivers a wide range of well-established programs (not pro-forma's) at less than a third of their full version price. At the heart of PowerPad is our powerful MasterFrame analysis module. This integrates directly with our steel, concrete, composite, and timber design modules to give you a seamless, fully integrated, 3D analysis and design environment. PowerPad (Student Edition) is a free version of our commercial PowerPad Plus structural analysis and design software suite. PowerPad is not a set of proformas, but lite copies of our real programs bundled together. Simple steel, concrete, and timber beam designer. Analysis of beams, trusses, plane frames, grillages and space frames.

Get the most efficient civil engineering tool. Quickly visualize terrain from different angles and export your survey to DTM. Import large LiDAR Point Clouds data and easily analyze them. Integrate your .xml and .dwg files into your favorite CAD and share them. Use an external database to facilitate data sharing. Edit surfaces by adding break lines and holes, work with 2D and 3D profile alignments, as well as handling LiDAR Point Clouds. Offers four methods for calculating volumes: by comparing surfaces, comparing planes, cross sections and solids. Generates surfaces by simplifying the Point Cloud and keeping only the important points that will reflect the surface behaviors. Place, move, and rotate building footprints inside a parcel with ease while respecting the chosen constraints. Allows to automatically create parcels from survey points or from existing drafts. Helps create, edit, and triangulate surfaces by allowing to select points and break lines.
