Product details

SkyCiv Wind Load Calculator is a free, cloud-based tool that enables engineers to calculate wind, snow, and seismic loads based on global building codes. It supports ASCE 7-10/16/22, EN 1991, NBCC 2015/2020, AS/NZS 1170, IS 875, NSCP 2015, CTE DB SE-AE, and CFE Viento. The calculator determines wind speeds, pressures, and forces by location and allows users to input building-specific parameters to generate accurate load values. This tool is ideal for structural engineers needing quick, code-compliant environmental load calculations. It integrates with SkyCiv Structural 3D, allowing users to apply calculated loads directly to their models.
