Overview

About the Calculator

The ClearCalcs Wind Load Calculator to ASCE 7-16 makes it easy to perform in depth wind analysis to US codes in only minutes. With support for simple or complex site criteria, the wind calculator provides a deep range of customisation options to provide fast results, and in depth customisation where required.

The fastest way to model & engineer beams to Australian standards

Perform lightning-fast analysis for factored loads on a simple or continuous beams according to AS/NZS 1170.0:2002 Structural Design Actions - General Principles. Input the geometry and loading of a beam for analysis in a few simple steps!

Helpful beam presets with common default properties

Helpful presets for beams such as roof bearer, ceiling joist, or floor joist enable you to quickly design various calculation types using smart, prefilled settings to save time.

Easily view checks and references at the click of a button

Easily find the appropriate standards reference, clause, and description (reasoning) that was used for a specific calculation or formula if you are unsure or want more information.

Easy to input load types and load combinations

The calculator supports a variety of different loading types such as distributed loads, line loads, point and moment loads which can be applied in combination.

Automatically factors loads to Australian standards

View automatically factored loads to Australian standards AS1170.1 for fast analysis of shear, moment, and deflection.

With spreadsheets and clunky software

Frustration, fuss, and fragile formulas—the old way of engineering calculations that holds you back.

Struggle with endless spreadsheets and custom formulas.

Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.

Triple-check and verify manual input at every turn.

Old software feels like a maze, with unclear settings, limited templates, and rigid interfaces.

How it works

Your code-compliant calculator

Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure, and code-compliant—so you can calculate with confidence.

Save time with ready-to-use templates for wood, steel, and concrete

ClearCalcs offers an extensive library of easy-to-use calculators for beams, columns, and footings, designed to make structural calculations simpler and faster.

Choose from a wide range of pre-configured beam and column options, complete with automatic member sizing, so you can quickly reach reliable designs and reduce rework.

Beams

Columns

Foundations

Walls

Loads

Dynamically track your load paths from roof to foundation

No need to copy and paste reactions between calculations! If the top calculator's reactions change, the loads being inherited onto the lower calculator will update automatically. This includes all loads such as dead, live, snow, seismic, and wind.

Submit professional reports for permit review

ClearCalcs is not only easy to use, but also easy to check! All calculations follow an easy to understand traffic light check system, with multiple levels of detail available giving you the choice of printing every step of the calculation and all code and standard references, or simply a compact, one-page print out.
