For a once-in-a-while user like me, SkyCiv combine ease of use with affordable pay-per-use. Ten minutes learning, ten minutes test model and you get your first results, clearly presented with color code on 3D rendered visualization. Amazing. Company is young and support is fast and willing both to help and get feedback. They did returned and asked about my feedback, looking to implement what's appropriate. Being cloud based software, you do not need to maintain the software, always working with the latest version.

Nothing beats this for quick analysis. I use the beam product for machine structure. I can quickly get answers to beam problems and document my answers. If I need to do more for PE reasons, it gives me the equations used for the model.

1.The concept of cloud based engineering software makes the same files available to our colleagues instantly, and no time is wasted in sharing through hard disks or pen drives. 2.The software is pretty user friendly. The user interface is pretty good.
