Use the SkyCiv Load Generator to quickly and easily generate wind, snow, and seismic loads based on a variety of codes for your project's design criteria. Take advantage of the easy user interface to get through the calculation effectively, then print out the site reports or design load reports to a PDF for later use as a deliverable. Directly apply the design loads from the Load Generator onto your project's 3D model in Structural 3D.

SkyCiv Load Generator is a cloud-based software module that enables engineers to quickly and accurately generate wind, snow, and seismic loads based on a wide range of international standards. With support for ASCE 7-10, ASCE 7-16, ASCE 7-22, AS/NZS 1170, NBCC 2015, NBCC 2020, EN 1991, IS 875, NSCP 2015, CTE DB SE-AE, and CFE, the tool simplifies the process of determining environmental loads for structural design. Users can input location data (zip code, coordinates, or map pin), select importance levels and risk categories, and receive detailed site-specific load calculations. The software also includes auto-calculation of terrain data and elevation factors, with clear graphical outputs. Results can be exported as PDF reports or directly applied to 3D models in SkyCiv Structural 3D.
